Lots westerner love this dish, how about you? You can find out many different sweet and sour sauce in every big supermarket like Coles, Bi-lo or Woolwoths, even in asian supermarket. Because people want to save time and brand sauce could do that, or maybe you don't know how to flavor sweet and sour sauce. It's ok, no matter you want to use the brand sauce or make it by yourself, I could show you how to do it.Point: Use oil to fried the pork and how to flavor your own sauce.

Ingredient:Pork meat ( in Taiwan we use pork chop as well, but need to chop it smaller)Vegetables( carrot, capsicum, cucumber, mushroom, onion. You can put tomato and pineapple as well, only if the vegetable suit sweet and sour sauce, why not?)

1. Before coat the pork, should preserve it with salts, sugar, soy sauce, rice wine for 15-20 minutes.

2. Beat an egg first, then cover pork with flour, egg, and flour again.

3. Strat to fried the pork. Put some oil to the pot until it warm. If you don't know if it warm or not just put a small piece onion, if there is many bubbles around the onion, it means the oil get ready.

4. Put the pork into pot carefully, I don't think you want to burn yourself cause of hot oil. Fried it until the coat become golden. But remember check firepoewr all the time, because if oil too hot, the coat would look golden soon but inside would be still not ripe yet, then you might burn porks. When porks floats on oil, that mean it ripe and take it out from pot.

5. You can deep fried the vegetables as well, it would make vegetables look more colorful in the dish but not too long, maybe around 30 secs.

6. Start to make sauce if you would like to make it by yourself. Put some oil and fried onion and other vegetables around 1 minute, now you can smell some aroma from friedpan then put some water. Before it boil, you can put salt, sugar, vinegar, tomato sauce, If you want to sweet or sour then put more sugar or vinegar.

7. Use corn flour with water to thicken the sauce, put the fried pork and mix it with sauce. Finish!8. If you want the vegetables taste more crisp, then make the sauce first and mix it with pork and sauce.
