Pork in sweet and sour sauce

Category: Meat dishes

Ingredients
pork (pulp)	700 g
for the sauce:
onion (small)	2 pcs.
garlic	2 cloves
ginger (length approx. 5 cm)	1 slice
olive oil	2 tbsp. l.
soy sauce	2 tbsp. l.
dry white wine	2 tbsp. l.
Apple vinegar	1 tbsp. l.
ketchup	3 tbsp. l.
brown sugar	2 tbsp. l.
fruit juice (orange or pineapple)	125 ml
starch	1 tbsp. l.
water	2 tbsp. l.

Cooking method

• White or brown sugar gives a "sweet" taste in sweet and sour sauce. The brown sugar gives the sauce a more caramel color and flavor. The sour taste comes from the addition of vinegar. The amount of sugar, salt or vinegar in a recipe can be adjusted to suit your individual taste. (Fruit juice can be completely replaced with dry white wine - which I did).
• Wash the meat well, dry it, remove the films and excess fat - cut into cubes. In a thick-walled saucepan (cauldron), heat 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil and fry the pork over high heat, so that the juice does not have time to stand out, until a slightly ruddy color.
• Sauce:
• finely chop the onion, garlic and ginger. Heat the vegetable oil well in a frying pan. Fry the onion, garlic and ginger, literally 2 minutes, until the onion becomes soft and transparent. We put it aside. In a small saucepan, mix the soy sauce, wine, juice, vinegar, ketchup, sugar. Mix well.
• Add the mixture of vegetables to the mixture of liquids, mix well. Let the sauce boil. We mix starch with water. Constantly stirring the sauce, pour in the starch in a thin stream. If desired, the sauce can be rubbed through a sieve, for beauty, then it will be homogeneous. But most of the time I leave vegetables in the sauce.
• Pour the prepared pork with the resulting sauce and simmer over very low heat for about 1 hour, making sure that the liquid does not evaporate.
• Serve the cooked meat hot with a neutral side dish (boiled potatoes, rice, noodles).
