Sweet & Sour Pork

Ingredients:

1 lb pork, cut into bite size

2 tsp light soya sauce

¼ tsp salt
freshly ground pepper

4 Tbsp tapioca or corn starch

1 green pepper, cut into 1" size

1 onion, cut into wedges

1 cup pineapple chunks

½ cup sugar

4 Tbsp ketchup

4 Tbsp vinegar

Pinch of salt

1 cup reserved pineapple juice (or water)

2 Tbsp tapioca or corn starch (make a thin paste with some water)

1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Marinate pork wiht soya sauce, salt and pepper in a plastic bag  
Before cooking, add tapioca starch to the pork and mix well.   
Deep fry the pork pieces until golden brown.  
Remove and drain on paper towels.

In a small pot, lightly fry the pepper and onion in a little bit of oil.  
Remove to a plate. 
Add sugar, ketchup, vinegar, salt, and juice to the pot and bring to a boil.  
Add tapioca paste, stirring constantly until sauce has thickened.  
Remove from heat.

Put the pork on a serving plate.

Pour sauce over and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.


Note: Make sure pork pieces are moist enough to blend in with the starch.  If too dry, add some water (slowly).  .
