Sweet & Sour Pork Chop

My children like pork chops cooked in this way and to date, I have tried with different ingredients for the sauce, but every time, they never failed to polish up the whole dish. This is no exception. I only ate a small portion because my appetite has not been in top form lately, but the two finished up every bit of it as well as the soup and stir-fry vegetables for dinner.



Sweet & Sour Pork Chop

Ingredients:
350g Pork Chops, cut into slices of 3/4" thick
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2 green capsicum, sliced
some pineapple cubes

Marinade:
1 tsp light soy sauce
1/4 tsp dark soy sauce
1/2 egg
1 tbsp potato starch
a dash of black pepper

Sauce:
3 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp vinegar
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
1/2 cup water

Thickener(optional):
some potato starch with water


Method:

Tenderise pork with millet or back of a cleaver.

Marinate pork for about an hour.

Deep-fry the pork with hot oil till golden brown. Drain and set aside. When slightly cooled, cut into bite size.
