My first post of a brand new blog!

Sweet and sour pork. Also known as 咕嚕肉 is a common dish we get to eat in zi char stall in hawker centre. My papa's 咕嚕肉 is awesome! >__<

Whenever we are far away from home, we miss home food. Whenever we are home, we miss outside food. How ironically humans are isn't it?

We definitely aren't influenced by the recent Swine Flu and have sudden craving for sweet and sour pork. Making ur own sauce aren't that hard either. :)

Ingredients:

-pork tenderloin (Cut into bite sizes and those with abit of fats taste better.)

-1 tomato

-1/4 capsicum (green or red is up to u. I used green cos tomato is red already. A mixture of colour is always appealing.)

-some cucumber (Cut into cubes)

-1/4 onions

-Some garlic

Marinate:
-light soy sauce
-pepper
-cornflour

Frying Batter:
-1 egg
-Plain flour
-Oil

Sauce:
-2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
-1/4 cup sugar
-2 tablespoons light soy sauce
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 cup water
-1/4 cup white vinegar
-some corn starch dissolve in water for thickening

Methods:
- Cut the pork into pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes. (I left it there for almost 2hours i think and went to do my stuff.)

- Heat up a great amount of oil for deepfrying. At the same time, mix in the egg into the marinated pork and coat on plain flour.

- Deep-fry till golden brown and drain the pork on paper towels.

- Heat up the frying pan and stir in some garlic, follow by the onions, capsicums, tomato and cucumber. Mix the sauce well and add to the frying pan.

-When the sauce is almost done, add the pork in and stir well.

-Ready to serve with steam rice. :)

Vegetables is a must. Sambal lady's finger. Simple and yum yum.


I prepared this braised eggs and mushroom since last nite. Delicious too!

A simple and yummylicious dinner. :)
