Sweet and Sour Pork
Recipe By Ed Lee

1 pound lean pork loin, cut in bite-size cubes
2 eggs, beaten
cornstarch
peanut oil
1 cup sugar
Dash of salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 cup cubed pineapple
1/2 cup sliced onions
3 tablespoons oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 to 3 dried red chili peppers, seeded and finely chopped

Heat peanut oil in skillet. Toss cubed pork in egg, then dredge in cornstarch. Shake off excess cornstarch and fry in hot oil until done through and browned on all sides. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a 200 degree oven.

Combine the sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Add the orange juice, pineapple juice, vinegar, and tomato paste and stir until blended. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened. Reduce heat to low.

Place 2 tablespoons of oil in a hot wok and add the garlic and hot pepper flakes. Stir fry for a few seconds, then add the bell peppers, pineapple, and onions. Stir fry until vegetables are hot through, but still slightly crisp.

Arrange cooked vegetables and pork cubes with steamed rice on a serving plate and serve with the sauce on the side.
