Sweet N Sour Tongue Food

SWEET 'N' SOUR TONGUE

Steps:

• Place tongue in large pot (six or eight quarts) and cover with water. Boil, covered, for 10 minutes; then, spill off all water.
• Wash meat and pot well. Return tongue to pot, cover with cold water, and boil 1 hour. Remove from water and set aside for 10 minutes or until cool.
• Sauté onion in oil until soft and translucent.
• Add the rest of the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil and then lower flame.
• Slice tongue, add to sauce, and simmer 25 minutes.

SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a wok or saucepan over high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry just until fragrant, and then add the juice, vinegar, brown sugar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the cornstarch and water mixture and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir into any nearly completed stir-fry dish and bring to a boil until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.

SWEET AND SOUR SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir sausage, onion, and bell pepper in the hot skillet until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk apricot preserves, cornstarch, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger in a small bowl; stir mixture into sausage mixture. Cook and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add pineapple chunks and tomatoes. Continue to cook and stir until heated through, about 10 minutes more.
