    I love that you've gone back to your older style where you're sitting at the table with no music ❤ I would eat that whole bowl happily and have no regrets!

    This is absolutely the best sweet and sour pork I have ever had. It took me about 5 hours to follow your recipe and make it, but the entire family loved it so much that there were sadly no leftovers for the next day! Thank you for such a great recipe.

    YUMMY! Looks similar to the way my Cantonese mum used to do it, except in England at the time she used pineapple in natural juice which then went into the sauce mix. She also bashed a piece of root ginger on the board and added that with the garlic which she removed later on before serving. Also for the sauce she used her potato peeler to take a thin strip of orange peel zest and then micro sliced it into fine delicate shreds.Added a lovely orangey note.

      I used to use unsweetened canned pineapple as well years ago.

    Hi, Mandy.
    I’m new to Chinese / Asian cooking but I’ve recognized your expertise for many months. I’ve dabbled in my attempts in the past, but none have ever come out as fine and delicious as this recipe of yours. Dedicating myself to following your recipe explicitly, it came out as tasty and addictive as you promised - thank you!
    You are a fantastic cook, and you have a great website; I will be trying many of your recipes moving forward.
    😊

    Well, if plum is the flavor you prefer, there's also red plum jam. That's what I use when I make this sauce, and it is DELICIOUS!

    This is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. Every time I'm at the local-ish Chinese restaurant, I always make a sweet and sour rice bowl for myself at the buffet, which the staff has commented on a few times at this point. I'm trying to convince them to put in more douchi into their black pepper beef, but I also understand why they omit it in their recipe, due how hard it is to find here in Denmark and because it's such an unusual flavour for Danish patrons.

    Made this tonight and it was really good. Thank you!
    I made and will share some modifications, for what it's worth. I air fried the pork in my instant pot, instead of deep frying. Ten minutes at 400 and a ten minute rest, then two minutes more before folding into the rest in the wok. It probably could do with lower temp or less time next time I try this, as it was a bit tougher than ideal, but still, really good. Also, I cooked the veg & pineapple in just a little oil for nearly ten minutes before adding the sauce. I find especially the pineapple gets so much more flavor release that way. And being distracted I didn't read fully and diverged on the sauce making -- putting everything in a jar and just shaking that and adding it at once when the veg/fruit were cooked. I don't know if it made it any better but it was easier and certainly didn't hurt. Speaking of the sauce, I made a couple of changes there -- subbed sake for the wine b/c that was all I had, and duck sauce for the orange jam because it's mostly the more traditional apricot. Again, just minor things; glad to know it could work in the instant pot for my better half who doesn't like me to deep fry, and overall very happy with this recipe. Thanks again!

    i tried making this today and it was really, REALLY delicious! it is better than takeout, because i got to adjust how much sugar i wanted in the sauce, and it wasn't super crazy sweet like in the buffets. i will add less pineapple next time, as i'm getting sensitive to sweetness. I LOVE the bell peppers and will add more next time, but the pork was the BEST part - especially with the white rice. thank you for sharing this recipe! i had no clue sweet and sour sauce was so simple to make!
    (saw in the comments, too, about adding some orange zest for garnish - def gonna try that next time, too!)

    TIPs 1. NO Corn starch lumps....mix any sauce in a bowl with a whisk first before adding....
    . 2 . If adding to a pan to thicken... reserve some sauce and add/mix the CnSt in a bowl then add at the last 2mins.
