Sister Hinckley’s Sweet and Sour Pork

Sister Hinckley’s Sweet and Sour Pork

Cut one pound of pork into ¾ inch cubes and mix with 1TBS cornstarch, 2 TBS flour, 1 egg white, and a little salt. Fry pork in deep, hot fat until brown; set aside.

For sauce, combine ½ cup sugar and 1 ½ TBS cornstarch. Stir into 1/3 cup vinegar and 2/3 cup water. Whisk to remove any lumps. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Set aside.

Heat another pan. Using 3 TBS oil, saute’ ½ cup sliced onion, ½ cup sliced carrots (sliced lengthwise with a vegetable peeler), 1 sliced green pepper, and a cucumber cut in long strips. Don’t overcook vegetables. They should remain rather crisp.
Combine ½ cup pineapple chunks, the sautéed vegetables, the fried pork, and the sweet and sour sauce. Stir in 4 TBS tomato catsup. Mix thoroughly and serve hot with rice.
