    Having made this recipe last night, it brought back happy memories of going to a restaurant in Wan-Chai, Hong Kong, way back in the 1980's, where it was said by the ex-pats community as serving the best Sweet and Sour Pork in Hong Kong. It Did! This was in that league! The batter was so good we used the last up as a pancake, then the sauce on top, delicious. Thanks Rik.

    I watched this video before lunch & it made me hungry. I love that you use a decent amount of pork in your pork balls. Usually they put a tiny amount in the ones from the Chinese Restaurant, but they end up mostly batter. My Mum & I love Sweet & Sour Pork. I will be making this for her. I'm sure she'll love it. But I probably will leave out the colouring.
    I also love that you use a tray with a rack on top, rather than using heaps of paper towel. Thanks for this recipe.

Off now to try & source some of that delicious looking plum sauce you used in this recipe, I also like a bit of fresh ginger 🫚 in my sauce, I know technically it shouldn’t be there, but to me ginger & pineapple are a match made in heaven!😍 Thanks as always for sharing Rik 🙏, I will be making a batch of that base sauce to portion up for my fridge & freezer! 👨‍🍳👌😋💖

    This is a great recipe. What is the reason for double frying the pork? Can't you do it in one go? There has to be some reason I don't know :) We love these, it's one of our favorite take outs. I make it ever so often. I like it with fresh tomatoes right at the end too. Another good one, thanks Rik.

    Thank you Rik. I enjoyed watching this video. My problem is frying, I cannot stand the smell of hot oil and frying. Someone else can do the frying. Adult children 😊

    Definitely making this. Just need to get pineapple. I have M&S plum sauce, but not that keen on it, not very sweet, will it be okay? Where do you get yours from, please? ❤

    Nice variation on how I do it - the red curry powder I'll try next time. Thanks.
    I usually marinate the pork overnight - bicarb most important! I'll add 1 tablespn of mirin (or dry sherry) and 1 teaspn of cornflower, with the 1 teaspn of soy and 1/4 teaspn of black pepper. Likewise, short blanched cook... pink inside is A-OK.
    I overnight marinate because I usually buy 1.5 - 2.5 Kg piece of pork shoulder or leg meat, which I find has more flavour with the wholesome fat that is never wasted.
    btw.... I say Pork Vindaloo is better than Beef because the pork fat makes a superior glossy sheen to the sauce, and tastes better. Try that some time. 😉
    I'm a bit particular on the high smoke point oil - peanut oil is fave. (especially for fish)
    I never use that stinking canola (rapeseed) oil or (god knows what it is blend) 'Vegetable' oil. The only use for that stuff is to make my garlic/chili/detergent pest spray.

    Hi Rik, made the sweet and sour pork balls which tasted great but the batter did not stick to the pork. any ideas what I did wrong . Regards Tricia

      What happened? The first thing I would ask - was the pork dry? Was the batter thick enough or too runny? Best, Rik

      @@BackyardChef Hi, the batter slipped off the pork and ended up in the bottom of the fryer. Am going to try again with dry pork and hopefully the right thickness of batter. All the best, Tricia

    When I came to the US in 1965,sweet,and sour chicken was popular,though no food color,or batter,then during the 1970’s Sichuan ,and Hunan cooking appeared,and many Cantonese,and westernized Cantonese dishes went out of fashion here,at least in the North eastern coast area of the States.Buried in a list of chicken dishes,you can still find sweet,and sour, on the takeout menus.but sesame,and orange chicken both in batter,both spicy have taken over.I don’t like battered chicken that is soggy,so I order the chicken dishes without batter,which reminds me to go heat up my Chinese chicken in oyster sauce.😊
