Description
A traditional Jiangsu dish called Pork in a Sugar and Vinegar Sauce, particularly popular in Cantonese cuisine.
Ingredients
- ½ pounds, 2-⅝ ounces, weight Pork With Fat
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce (Lee Kum Kee Brand)
- ½ teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Shaoxing Wine
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Water
- Corn Flour (or Cornstarch), For Coating Pork Pieces
- 1 whole Green Capsicum, Cubed
- 1 whole Onion, Cut Into Wedges
- 1 whole Tomato, Cut Into Wedges
- 3-⅝ ounces, weight Pineapple, Cubed
- _____
- FOR THE SAUCE:
- 1 Tablespoon Plum Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons Tomato Ketchup
- ¾ Tablespoons Sugar
- ¾ Tablespoons Salt
- ¾ Tablespoons White Rice Vinegar
- 6 tablespoons, 2 teaspoons, 4-⅝ pinches Water
Preparation
Cut pork into ½-inch thick pieces and pound with the back of the knife. Cut into cubes and marinate with salt, sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, egg and water for 30 minutes (I marinate overnight).
Coat pork cubes with corn flour and deep fry until golden brown. Drain.
Leave one tablespoon of oil in the wok; stir-fry capsicum, onion, tomato and pineapple until fragrant. Pour in the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil to let it thicken slightly.
Add in fried pork cubes and mix well. Dish up and enjoy.

Thanks Kat!! Shaoxing wine is an essential ingredient in Chinese cuisine . It tastes much like dry sherry

Eating this as I type, turned out great! I had to substitute the Shaoxing wine with a white wine vinegar and some extra sugar. Definitely a keeper! Thanks!
