- Stir Fry in Sweet
and Sour Sauce
- This is a good one and you can use that food that flies or
you can use
it with pork which I prefer:
- 1 lb chicken or pork cut into about one inch pieces (chicken
skinned
and boneless or pork trimmed of fat)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon wine
1 medium red onion, cut in half and then sliced lengthwise into
thin
strips
1 can (20oz) of pineapple chunks drained, but save the juice
3 medium green onions thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
3 teaspoons olive oil (or canola oil)
2 to 3 cups of hot cooked rice
- Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons tomato sauce or ketchup
the juice from the pineapple
1/4 teaspoon salt
- Combine meat, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon wine
in a bowl,
stir until meat is coated and let sit for 15 min.
- While the meat is marinating, prepare the other ingredients.
Cut onion into strips, drain pineapple, reserving juice, combine
garlic, ginger and green onion in a small bowl and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce by putting cornstarch in a bowl and stirring
in
2 tablespoons vinegar to dissolve. Then add remaining vinegar,
sugar, tomato sauce or ketchup, juice and salt and set aside.
- Set a large (10 to 12 inch) non-stick skillet over medium
high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When pan is hot, add
meat and stir fry until almost cooked through. ( I just cook
it till it's done) Remove meat from the pan.
- Pour the remaining teaspoon oil into the pan and add onion
strips and pineapple and stir-fry about 3 minutes or until lightly
browned.
- Add green onion, ginger and garlic mixture into the pan,
stir one minute, add sauce mixture and bring to a boil to thicken.
Turn heat to medium, add meat, including any juices that have
gathered around it, and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes or until
everything is coated with the sauce and the meat is cooked through.
Serve over rice.
