Sweet and sour pork is incredible and this recipe gives you everything you need to make it at home, in your pajamas if you want. As the old saying goes “sweet ain’t as sweet without the sour” and we couldn’t agree more, philosophically and literally.

Sweet and sour pork traditionally goes great wth rice or noodles, but we decided to be weird and try it on a pizza too. It did not disappoint. Whether you want to get adventurous or keep it simple, this recipe rocks!

Ingredients

SWEET AND SOUR PORK

½ lb Pork butt
1 cup Cooking oil
1 Egg white
1 Green onion
½ stalk Celery
¼ Red pepper
¼ Green pepper
¼ White onion
½ tsp Soy sauce
¼ tsp Sugar
¼ cup Cornstarch

SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

1 cup Pineapple tidbits (with juice)
1 tbsp Cornstarch
¾ cup Water
2 tbsp Sugar
2 tbsp Ketchup
2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
½ tsp Soy sauce

Instructions

Dice celery and green onion. Cut red and green pepper, and white onion into 1" cubes.
Cut pork into 1" x ¼" slices, removing excess fat. Add pork slices to medium bowl, add sugar, soy sauce, egg white and green onions. Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes, then add ¼ cup cornstarch, making sure to coat all the pork.
In wok, heat 1 cup of oil to medium heat. Add pork and cook 6-8 minutes or until golden brown both sides, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and let rest on a paper towel lined plate.
Carefully remove some excess oil from wok, until there is about ½ cup remaining. Add celery, white onion, red and green pepper, still cooking on medium heat for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked. Remove veggies and set aside.
Carefully remove excess oil from wok, until there is about 2 tbsp. remaining. Add pineapple tidbits with juice, water (only ½ cup), sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce, bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch and cold water (only ¼ cup) and add to wok, mix until sauce thickens to desired consistency.
Add to rice, noodles or put it on a pizza!
