Cooking Instructions
1.
Make the slurry by combining Corn Starch (1 Tbsp) and Water (3 Tbsp). Mix well and set aside.
2.
In a large mixing bowl, add the pork, Light Soy Sauce (4 Tbsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp). Mix together and set aside.
3.
To make the coating, in a separate bowl, add All-Purpose Flour (1 cup), Salt (2 tsp), and Corn Starch (1 cup), then mix until evenly distributed. Add a few pieces of Pork Shoulder (1.5 lb) at a time and coat well. Place the coated pieces on a plate and set aside. Repeat the process for the remaining pork slices.
4.
In a frying pan, heat Frying Oil (4 cups) over medium heat. Add 4-5 pieces of the coated pork at a time into the oil and fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Take the pieces out to drain the excess oil and leave 3 Tbsp oil for stir-fry.
5.
In a skillet, add 3 Tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Add the Onion (1/2) and stir fry until softened. Add Red Bell Pepper (1) and continue to stir fry for about 2 minutes.
6.
Pour Chicken Stock (1/2 cup), Sweet and Sour Sauce (1 bottle), and the starch and water mix, and stir to combine. Simmer for 2 minutes, reduce heat to medium-low until the sauce starts to thicken.
7.
Give the slurry a mix and add a little bit at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
8.
Add the pork and Fresh Pineapple Chunks (1 can) and stir to coat well with the sauce. Remove from the stove and serve immediately with Spring Onions (to taste).
