Sweet and Sour Pork
5 out of 5Just what I was looking forDecember 04, 2011

I found this recipe last year when I was looking for a sweet and sour pork recipe without breading on the pork. I have made it many times since I found the recipe, and after making it for supper last night again, I had to review it, as it is my favorite meal now. I have tweaked it, just to suit our personal tastes, but the first time I made it I followed the recipe exactly and knew it was exactly what I was looking for as a basic recipe, and is wonderful as is. The only changes for our taste, is that I add 1-1/2 tablespoons of plum sauce, and about a tsp of red pepper flakes to the sauce that you simmer the pork in, and cut the pineapple tidbits to an 8 oz can, and I add more bell peppers (any color). I do cut the meat and peppers into cubes, not strips, but that too is personal preference. The meat is so tender and delicious. I serve it over Texmati rice. Thank you so much for this great recipe. It is the best!

I made this tonight and my family really loved it. I added a little grated ginger and some garlic. Also, a little more water at the end to stretch the sauce. This is a keeper, it was just as good if not better than take out!

This recipe was an absolute waste of a good pork loin. The sauce was bland and tasteless. Anyone that thinks this dish was good would have to be related to the cook.

I used two boneless pork chops and added and an extra red pepper, some celery, that was in the vegetable bin, and baby carrots on the bottom of the crock pot. I also added garlic (a plus in our house) and stir fry ginger seasoning. I don't think we will ever order this at a chinese resturant again. This is a great and easy reciipe!!!

I was bored with cooking pork chops the same way every week. I wanted an easy recipe with a lot of flavor. This recipe gave me exactly what I was looking for! My husband and children loved it and told me to make this again. Thanks!!

I had some leftover pork roast that I decided to use. I chunked the peppers as well as using green & yellow peppers. The pork shredded and therefore was in every bite, Since my meat was already cooked, I added the sauce mixture to the pre-cooked meat and heated for 10 mins. I also added 1/2 can water chestnuts & 1/2 can of bamboo shoots and heated 10 more minutes, It added more texture and my husband loved it. My picky brother who is ""not experimental"" cleaned his plate.

The recipe was really tasty. We didn't have any leftovers! I modified the recipe slightly by using cider vinegar, added a 1/2 tsp of black pepper, a 1/2 tsp of ground ginger, and doubled the soy sauce to two tbs from one, and used only 1/4 tsp of salt. Then I seasoned the rice to include one tsp of ""5-spice powder"" and 1-tsp of soy sauce.

I will def. be making it again, and am so gald to have found it on here!!! The real test was serving to my picky boyfriend, but he went back for seconds, then thirds!

My husband was craving sweet and sour pork and I didn't have a recipe so I used this one. It turned out very well. He really enjoyed it and felt very pampered because I had gone ""out of my way"" to make it for him. This recipe is easy to follow and very tasty. I will definitely keep this recipe and use it again. Thanks!
