Directions

40 min
  1. 1

    Cut 300g of pork into bite-sized pieces. Mix together ★soy sauce (1 tbsp), ★sake (1 tbsp), and ★sesame oil (1 tsp). Marinate the pork for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cut the carrot (1/2) into irregular chunks, the onion (1/2) into wedges, and the bell peppers (2) into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a microwave-safe container and heat for about 3 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Combine all the sweet and sour sauce ingredients (rice vinegar 3 tbsp, soy sauce 3 tbsp, sugar 3 tbsp, ketchup 2 tbsp, sake 2 tbsp, mirin 1 tbsp, water 4 tbsp, cornstarch 1 tbsp) and mix well.

  4. 4

    Place the marinated pork (300g) in a plastic bag and coat thoroughly with cornstarch (to taste).

  5. 5

    Deep-fry the pork at 170°C. Alternatively, you can stir-fry it in a large amount of oil in a frying pan.

  6. 6

    Pour the sweet and sour sauce and pre-cooked vegetables into a cold frying pan. Turn on the heat to medium and stir gently until the sauce thickens.

  7. 7

    After 2-3 minutes, the sauce will thicken and coat the ingredients well. Your dish is ready!

Tips

Pre-heating the vegetables in the microwave eliminates the stir-frying step, saving time. Pre-mixing the cornstarch with the sweet and sour sauce prevents lumps. Mix the sauce once more before adding to the pan to ensure even distribution of cornstarch for a smooth finish.
