We gave this recipe a try this evening, and it was fabulous.
I'm only posting the link here, and skipping my usual quick reference summary of ingredients and method because there's a lot of bits to it - the marinade for the pork, the coating, the sauce, and other bits to add to the pork - https://thewoksoflife.com/2015/12/sweet-and-sour-pork/
Suffice it to say, there's a fair bit of preparation and cooking involved, but we elected to have a lazy day and take it slowly this evening. Preparation and cooking time overall was over 2 hours rather than the 1 1/4 suggested on the website. In part that was because we had other dishes to make as well (stir fried rice and spring rolls) and we weren't in a hurry. We could have shaved off some time if we'd been more focused and organized. We also did a lot more pork - about twice the recipe - which made for more frying. Having said that, don't underestimate the time it takes to bring a pan of oil up to temperature, and to coat and fry batches of meat.
Not something to do if you're in a hurry, but if you enjoy being in the kitchen the effort was well worth it.
Sounds delicious ... we had a bbqd beef roast and lamb roast ... and had a swim - the pool was designated clean enough ... my love of sweeping up dead leaves helped ... hot here. The farmers are up tomorrow too ... so swimming on the cards for the summer - cheers Hilary
