SWEET AND SOUR CONDIMENT RECIPES

Steps:

• Place tomato paste, ketchup, sugar in a saucepan. Pour in pineapple juice, white vinegar, lemon juice, and honey into the pan. Add soy sauce, grated ginger, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together thoroughly. Place pan over medium-high heat. As soon as mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until mixture has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat; allow to cool about 10 minutes or so. Pour sauce through a fine strainer to eliminate solids.

Steps:

• First, we'll cut our pork into a few pieces, parallel to the grain. Then, we'll slice pieces perpendicular to the grain, into about 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces.
• These are all basically optional, but we'll cut our bell peppers into triangles (red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, green bell peppers), and red onions, yellow onions into small pieces.
• We'll create our sauce with ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Mix it thoroughly for about 45 to 60 seconds.
• Add flour to the marinated pork and massage for about 1-2 minutes to coat the pork evenly in the flour. You may need to add dashes of water to help spread the flour around.
• As with our Honey Walnut Shrimp and General Tso's Chicken recipes, we'll be frying our pork twice - a first time to cook it, a second to bring out the crunchiness.
• We're close to being done!
