Marinade
1 tbsp Hua Tiao wine
1 tbsp chicken marinade/ soy sauce
1 tsp corn flour
1 tsp sugar

A dash of sesame oil
Flour mixture for coating pork cubes
3 tbsp plain flour
3 tbsp corn flour

4 tbsp tomato ketchup
3 tbsp Thai sweet chilli sauce

Pineapple syrup from the canned pineapples
Main ingredients
Marinated pork cubes
Flour mixture
Sauce
Method
1) Coat the pork cubes in flour mixture and deep fry till nearly cooked. Set aside to cool. (When cooled, deep fry again the second time to ensure the pork remains crispy just before serving. But skip this step if you are health conscious; or feeling terribly guilty already for even deep frying it at all!:P)
2) fry the garlic and onions till fragrant.
3) add in the cucumbers, pineapple, capsicums(if you have them) and fry for a minute or two.
4) add in the sauce, pineapple syrup, spring onions and bring to a boil. Thicken with some potato starch to your desired consistency.
5) Drizzle over the crispy pork and there there you have it – Sweet and Sour Pork!
Yummy!
