Does it matter what kind of pork?? I mean cuts at least?

Pork tenderloin? I figure a nice fresh tenderloin...I might use a couple of deer backstraps in place of it. :grin:

You can use your favorite cut of meat, red meat, seafood chicken.....

imagination is key

I like my sweet and sour pork (fish, etc) to have a crispy crunch to it beneath the thick coating of sauce.  It seems to me that simmering the pork in water for 15-20 minutes and then again with the addition of the veggies, would cause it to lose any crispy texture that may have been attained from the browning in step 1 of the cooking process?

It sure is. Best way to make dishes imo! Take what you have and improvise.

Again this could be easily adjusted, to suit your own taste.

Recipes are just guidelines IMO.

I hardly ever follow recipies (even my own) to the tee.

Variety is the spice of life.

I've been dying to have a decent plate of sweet and sour chicken (but pork works too) for literally years now. There's no such thing as decent chinese food locally over here :frown: .

I think I'm going to give this a shot, sounds good.

How would I increase the crispiness of the pork? Should I steam the vegetables for longer (5minutes before hand) then throw in the pork or what? I've been 'cooking' since I was 5 but have really just done everything touch and go so I don't quite get this concept yet.

Thanks for the recipe!

Yea, you can steam the veggies before if you wanna, I guess :tongue:

You could also skip the add water, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 min step, and just add a little less water. Actually, you could just rinse the sweet and sour sauce jars out, and use that water.
:super:

Make sure your oil is good and hot before you put the pork in or the coating will wash off.
I had that happen the last time I made this, made a mess in my pan too

:cheers:
