With a sweet and sour taste, the Chinese have developed a long relationship. This combination was born more than 2 thousand years ago and was used exclusively for the preparation of fish dishes. Then they began to appreciate the sweet and sour taste in meat and seafood dishes.

A dish of pork in sweet and sour sauce was born "based on" traditional Chinese dishes, came to China from the West and got accustomed everywhere.

Pork in sweet and sour sauce is traditionally prepared with natural ketchup or tomato paste, pineapple, several types of sweet pepper (or with carrots and onions). This dish is suitable for almost any side dish. Its almost impossible to spoil. Pork and pineapple are great combined.

The main feature of this dish is precisely the sauce, which should be both sour and sweet aftertaste. The main difficulty in the preparation of this dish is the correct creation of the sauce.

In China, they love to savor all food with spices, and the reasons for this are quite understandable: their vegetables, as a rule, are not too diverse and do not have a pronounced taste. Therefore, spices come to the rescue by the way.

Before, I had no idea how to cook a meat dish in a sweet and sour sauce. But having become acquainted with Chinese cuisine, I changed my mind. If you think that meat does not fit with sweetness, you are mistaken, and today I am going to convince you. We will cook with pork, but you can replace the pork with chicken drumsticks, it will turn out just as tasty.

In order to cook pork in sweet and sour sauce, we need:


Pork fillet;

Canned (or fresh) pineapples;

1 carrot;

Green and red bell peppers;

Tomato (optional)

Soy sauce;

Starch;

Granulated sugar;

Apple vinegar

Sunflower oil

Pepper + salt to taste

1. First marinate our pork. I bought a big piece of pork fillet, cut it up as if cut into chops. And how should it beat off. Next, cut the meat into smaller pieces, in portions. Here you cut the way you like. Someone likes pieces thicker and more tightly, and someone - thin and elongated.


2. Now chopped meat must be marinated. To do this, pour half a cup of soy sauce into a plate with sliced ​​pieces of meat, add a tablespoon of starch and the same amount of flour, mix everything. Visually everything should look as if the meat was dipped in sour cream. Focus on the visual appearance of the meat. If half a glass of sauce is clearly not enough, better add more. Now you need to cover the plate with meat lid and marinate.


3. So, let's leave our meat to marinate and at this time we will be engaged in cooking vegetables. First, they need to be well washed, cleaned those that need cleaning, and cut into strips one and diced others.


4. Now on a hot frying pan with a small amount of refined olive oil, throw a carrot, let it fry a bit, then pepper, cook until done. Then add tomatoes and pineapple.

Before sending the tomatoes in the pan, scald them and release them from the skins. Put all fried vegetables on a plate. Time to do the meat, which is just already filled with marinade.

5. On a large hot pan, flavored with olive oil, carefully lay out the meat. Each piece should lie loosely so that you can easily turn it over and fry it on the reverse side.

6. Meat is fried, and we will build our sauce, the main “flavor” of pork in sweet and sour sauce. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of sugar, vinegar, and 4 spoons of ketchup. If you are a lover of thrills, take super-sharp ketchup, if you are going to give this dish to children or just don’t welcome the burning sensation in your mouth, take medium-sharp ketchup. For example, barbecue.


7. When the meat is fried, add vegetables and sauce to the pan, then stew for 5-10 minutes over moderate heat.

So, our dish is ready. In order for pork to be really tasty, repel it well. Serve it with boiled rice. But this is the most obvious and classic option. It can be done differently. For example, serve it with fried rice, you can with potatoes, or as a salad.

Pork in sweet and sour sauce can be prepared in a different way. For this we need ...

In this recipe we cook deep-fried pork.

    1. Take a piece of lean pork grams 400 weight, cut it into portions. Put the sliced ​​pork in a deep plate, add starch and boiled water to the plate, mix. Stir until pork is covered in starch, like paste. The amount of starch is at your discretion. Leave the pork in the starch in the refrigerator for a period of 30 minutes to 8 hours.

    2. Then in a separate bowl, mix the ingredients for the sauce: soy sauce, sugar, vinegar.

    3. Heat the pan (wok or cauldron), grease with oil, heat the oil. It should be hot, but not boiling.

    4. Put the pieces of pork in the pan and fry in oil until the starch turns golden brown.
