Ted's Sweet & Sour Sauce for Pork, Chicken Etc

"Nearly all the sweet & sour sauces here on RecipeZaar have pineapple in them - this one doesn't . It is just a perfect combo of sweet/sour flavor. Do your pork, chicken what ever meat you prefer pan browned or deep fried then pour this sauce over and serve immediately. If you are not deep frying the meat coat with a bit of corn starch and crisp fry it until done. I like 1" cubes for the meat. This is enough sauce for 1 lb of meat"

  1. Great recipe. I used pieces of bone-in chicken. For the sugar/splenda, I used 36 drops of liquid splenda and a pinch of stevia powder. Instead of corn starch, I used a very little bit of xanthan gum. It was very good.
     
  2. wowBergy! Whomever Ted is he sure does know his sweet and sour, perfect balance! I chopped up two boneless pork chops, stir fryed them,removed them to a warm oven and made the sweet and sour sauce in the same frypan, followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect! I put brown basmati rice on the platter first, then the pork and poured the sauce over all. I had some red and some yellow bell peppers to use up so I added them in with the green, made quite a pretty dish with the carrots etc. We love this sauce and will be making it again, thanks for sharing a really tasty recipe!!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
