CHINESE TAKE-OUT SWEET AND SOUR PORK
Don't be fooled by the list of ingredients this is not at all hard to make, and may even be better than any take-out you may have had in the past! --- for authenticity of this popular dish the pork must be deep-fryed firstly and this may be done well in advance to save time, adjust the chili flakes to suit heat level my family likes spicy so I use 1 teaspoon or a little more --- serve with cooked white rice.

- Mix Pork with Marinade. Marinade 18 to 24 hours. (See Note 1 for marinating time for other cuts)
- Coating #1: Mix 5 tablespoons cornflour into the pork and leave for 5 minutes. At first, it will be white from the cornflour, but after a while it will sweat and make the cornflour (mostly / partially) wet, and will be sticky (this is key for coating to stick).
- Heat oil: Pour enough oil into a large saucepan or small pot so it's 2.5cm / 1" deep. Heat to 180°C/350°F (or until pork immediately starts sizzling when you dip it in).

- The sweet and sour pork marinate. Cut the pork into bite-size, about 2.5 cm (*1-inch) length. Most Chinese restaurants use pork belly, but you may use pork loin, pork shoulder, or collar b tt, which are less fatty.
- Prepare the dry coating for deep frying. Prepare the dry coating as indicated in the note section of the recipe. The dry coating helps crisp up the crust form on the surface, making it highly crispy and able to withstand the moisture from the sauce drizzling on it while serving.
- Cut the vegetables into bits-size. Fresh vegetables provide an excellent contrast to the deep-fried pork and the sauce with a strong savory flavor. The most common vegetables for Chinese sweet and sour pork are cucumbers, onions, and fresh pineapples.
- Make the sweet and sour sauce. It is the sweet and sour sauce that sets apart one recipe from another. Although you can prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining only rice vinegar and sugar, it definitely can formulate with various ingredients to get more flavors.
- Combine all the ingredients. Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil into the wok. Saute the onion, followed by pineapple, cucumber, and stir-fry briefly for half a minute.
