Then at the last second, finish with the second frying and pour sauce to coat everything! Start by cutting the roast pork into pieces of a size suitable for bites. Pour the clear soy sauce, Chinese wine, powder 5 spice, baking soda and cornstarch. Let cool at least one hour.
• Pour all the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch and water.
• Add vegetables, peppers, onions and pineapple. Put on low heat for ten minutes just to cook the onion and peppers. So you can cook a little more or a little less.
• Add to the end of these 10 minutes, the cornflour and 50g of water if the sauce thickens too much.
• Cook one minute and stop the fire.
• Prepare the batter for pork. Combine flour, cornstarch, egg white.
• Add hot water gradually to obtain a smooth paste. Too dry or too wet. Pour this batter over pork.
• Heat oil in a wok or saucepan. When the oil is hot, add the pork pieces one by one. Do not put too much pork pan simultaneously. Cook two or three times!
• Turn pieces of browned on all sides. Set aside each time on a paper towel while the other pieces cook. Once everything is cooked, allow the oil to warm up a little and then add all at once. We will fry again to make the extra-crispy pork !! Yum!
• Drain the oil from the wok into another container (an empty pan) and put the fried pork pieces into the wok, pour over donuts sweet and sour sauce.
• Cook just to warm up the sauce. Serve immediately with rice.

SWEET AND SOUR PORK (糖醋里脊)

Steps:

• Combine the pork pieces, vegetable oil, and salt in a big bowl. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• When you're ready to cook, add the beaten egg into the bowl with the pork. Stir to mix well. Add the cornstarch. Stir to coat the pork until it forms an uneven coating with a little dry cornstarch left unattached.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-duty skillet until hot, until it just starts to smoke. Add the pork all at once and spread it out into a single layer in the skillet. Separate the pork pieces with a pair of tongs or chopsticks.
• Cook without touching the pork for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden. Flip to brown the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the pork to a big plate and remove the pan from the stove. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place the pan back onto the stove and turn to medium heat. You should still have 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan. Add the green onion and garlic. Cook and stir a few times until it releases its fragrance, a few seconds.
• Stir the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely. Pour it into the pan. Stir and cook until it thickens, when you can draw a line on the bottom with a spatula without the sauce running back immediately.
• Add back the cooked pork and stir to coat with sauce, about 30 seconds. Transfer everything to a plate immediately.
• Serve hot as a main over steamed rice.

SWEET AND SOUR PORK

Steps:

• Add the marinade ingredients to the pork, and mix everything together until there is no visible liquid. Set aside for 30 minutes.
• Next, make the sauce. Add 1 teaspoon of oil, ginger slices, and star anise to a small saucepan over medium heat, and cook until the ginger starts to caramelize (about 1 minute). Next, add the ketchup. When that starts to sizzle, stir constantly until the ketchup starts to caramelize (about 2 minutes). Take care not to burn the aromatics and ketchup--this step is essential to give the sauce a deeper, more complex flavor.
• Next, add the white vinegar, sugar, and the juice from the canned pineapple. Stir until the mixture starts to simmer, and the sugar is dissolved. Turn to the lowest heat and let the sauce simmer and reduce until the sauce just starts to coat a spoon (about 30 minutes). The sauce needs this time for the flavors to meld. The sauce can be cooled and stored at this time, and you can double or triple the amount and store the sauce away in the refrigerator for future meals.
• Heat 3 cups of oil to 350F in a small pot for frying. Using a small pot and frying in batches leaves you with less leftover oil to deal with. Always let the oil cool completely and use a fine mesh strainer to strain the oil before storing in the refrigerator.
• Mix together the dredging ingredients (flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper) in a shallow dish. Dredge the pork pieces in the flour mixture, dip into the egg, and then dredge with the flour again.
• Fry the pieces in batches for about 2 to 3 minutes, or when they just start to get golden brown. Remove them from the oil and transfer to a sheet pan with a slotted spoon or spider.
• Once you're ready to combine everything, refry the pork in batches to crisp up the coating. That's right, they're going to fry for a second time--this prevents the pork from getting too soggy when added to the sauce.
• To a clean wok, add 1 tablespoon oil, the bell peppers, and onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, and add the sauce and the pineapple. Bring the mixture to a simmer to further thicken the sauce. At this time, you will likely need to add some cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce further. Add half first and stir for 15 seconds; then decide if you need more. Remember the sauce will thicken more as it cools in the plate, so add only as much as you need.
• I have to add another note to this recipe that this sauce is very sweet and very pungent! So at this point, you must taste the sauce and add water to it if it is too strong and by that, I mean too sweet or too sour. Once you have it adjusted to your taste and the desired thickness, especially if you added more water, then go ahead to the next step and add the pork.
• Next, add your crispy pork to the sauce, and toss until the pieces are well-coated. Serve immediately!

SWEET AND SOUR PORK (咕噜肉)

Steps:

• First, we'll cut our pork into a few pieces, parallel to the grain. Then, we'll slice pieces perpendicular to the grain, into about 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces.
• These are all basically optional, but we'll cut our bell peppers into triangles (red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, green bell peppers), and red onions, yellow onions into small pieces.
• We'll create our sauce with ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Mix it thoroughly for about 45 to 60 seconds.
• Add flour to the marinated pork and massage for about 1-2 minutes to coat the pork evenly in the flour. You may need to add dashes of water to help spread the flour around.
• As with our Honey Walnut Shrimp and General Tso's Chicken recipes, we'll be frying our pork twice - a first time to cook it, a second to bring out the crunchiness.
• We're close to being done!

• Add the wine and salt to the pork strips, mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• For the sauce, combine the salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small-medium bowl.
• Pour enough oil into your wok (or large sturdy pot, such as a Dutch oven) until it's about 1-inch deep. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 300°F. A candy thermometer helps with this.
• In a medium-sized bowl, add the eggs and gently beat together. Add the corn starch and mix until completely mixed and a thick batter has formed.
• Add the pork strips to the batter and mix until completely coated.
• Drop some of the battered strips into the oil, adding them individually to prevent sticking, and stir with forks, or metal tongs, to separate.
• Fry the strips for about 3 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining strips until you have cooked all of them.
• Increase the heat until it reaches 375°F. Add the pork strips in one or two batches and deep-fry them until they are crisp and golden. Remove, drain, and place on a serving dish.

• Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until they are fragrant. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the prepared sauce from the small bowl.
• Stir briskly as the liquid thickens, then add the scallions and sesame oil, stirring a few times.
• Either pour the sauce over the pork strips, or add the pork strips to the sauce in the wok to coat and then transfer to a serving dish. Top with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables.

SWEET AND SOUR PORK

Steps:

• Mix Pork with Marinade. Marinade 18 to 24 hours. (See Note 1 for marinating time for other cuts)
• Rack & warm oven: Preheat oven to 80°C/175°F and place rack on tray - to keep pork warm.
• Sauce: Place all Sauce ingredients EXCEPT water in a large jug or small bowl. Mix until combined, then mix in water.
• Be Stir Fry Ready: Have all ingredients lined up, ready to toss in. After Fry #2, things move quickly.
• Coating #1: Mix 5 tablespoons cornflour into the pork and leave for 5 minutes. At first, it will be white from the cornflour, but after a while it will sweat and make the cornflour (mostly / partially) wet, and will be sticky (this is key for coating to stick).
• Coating #2: Spread 1/2 cup cornflour in a shallow bowl. Coat pork, shaking off excess, and pile onto a plate.
• Reserve cornflour in case you need to dust again just prior to frying. Pork should be at least half white when you put it into the oil (if not, just sprinkle with reserved cornflour).
• Heat oil: Pour enough oil into a large saucepan or small pot so it's 2.5cm / 1" deep. Heat to 180°C/350°F (or until pork immediately starts sizzling when you dip it in).
• Fry #1: Cook pork in batches, being sure not to crowd the pot, for 3 minutes until golden. Drain on rack. This step is just to cook the pork. It takes me 4 batches.
• Fry #2: Turn the stove up slightly and heat oil to 200°C/390°F. Starting with the coolest pork, add half the pork (you can crowd the pot) and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, or until pork is deep golden brown and crispy. Transfer to rack, repeat with remaining pork - I do 2 batches.
• Keep warm in oven.
• Heat oil in a very large skillet over high heat.
• Add garlic, ginger and onion, stir for 1 1/2 minutes. Add capsicum and stir for 2 minutes.
• Add Sauce & pinapple, then let it come to a rapid simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens - when you drag the spoon across the base, a path should briefly appear (see video at 1 min 53 s).
• 10 second toss: Add pork, then QUICKLY toss to coat - aim for 10 seconds!
• Serve asap! Pour onto serving plate, serve immediately! Will stay crispy for around 5 minutes then starts softening but still has a solid coating. This is just the reality of Sweet and Sour Pork, even at restaurants!
