It all started with two ingredient ideas: pineapple and bell peppers. It finished as yesterday's lunch.
It turned out to be Asian sweet-and-sour-pork. You marinate and then stir-fry some small chunks of pork (or chicken) with onions and garlic. You make a sweet-and-sour sauce using tomato paste (or ketchup), some spicy red paprika (or some sriracha pepper sauce), some pineapple juice (out of a can), and then add some cubes of pineapple and strips of bell pepper to the stir-fry pan. Here's a link to a good recipe.
I used to make a recipe like that from my Betty Crocker cookbook. I bet yours was delicious.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I ate, much less cooked, sweet and sour pork or chicken. I put in less sugar than the recipe called for.
DeleteMy husband loves anything I add pineapple to, and I love peppers, so I'll have to try this. Yumm!

This looks delicious! Sweet and sour pork is one of my favourites when we go to a Chinenese restaurant in the UK.
ReplyDeleteSuprised you can find sriracha there! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI find sriracha mostly in Asian supermarkets in Tours and in Blois.
DeleteGreat looking meal.

It was good. I cut back on the sugar and added some spicy heat.
DeleteThis delicious meal is extra special for the effort cooking requires when one is feeling poorly. I hope all this yummy food will return the two of you to good health shortly.
ReplyDeleteSweet and Sour Pork or MuShu Pork/or Chicken have been a frequent order when I'm eating Chinese. I went to the recipe you suggested and I will be making sweet and sour Chicken in the next couple of days. I bought a couple of peppers and the chicken. Have you used that marinade with baking soda? First time I've read about that.
