Sweet & Sour Pork Recipe

Thank you Rita from Victoria for this mouth watering Pork recipe.

Note: The secret to cooking pork to a golden crisp finish is double frying. Cubes of pork a fried in peanut oil until almost cooked and then drained. Oil must be bought back to boiling point and then pork re-fried for about 5 seconds only, until golden and crispy. The dish must be served immediately combined with the sauce.
