Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Make the slurry by combining Corn Starch (1 Tbsp) and Water (3 Tbsp). Mix well and set aside.
step 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.
step 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.
step 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.
step 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.
step 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.
step 7
Give the slurry a mix and add a little bit at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
step 8
Add the pork and Fresh Pineapple Chunk (1 can) and stir to coat well with the sauce. Remove from the stove and serve immediately with Spring Onions (to taste).
