BETTER THAN TAKEOUT - Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe

[@sandie157]

Your mum must be so proud of you. You honour her by sharing so many of her yummy recipies with the world.

[@Blowyourtop]

I love that you've gone back to your older style where you're sitting at the table with no music ❤ I would eat that whole bowl happily and have no regrets!

[@ewengillies9826]

I'd eat the bowl n all and then look fir a second one .. lol. Bushyboy Oz

[@thewaythingsare8158]

YUMMY! Looks similar to the way my Cantonese mum used to do it, except in England at the time she used pineapple in natural juice which then went into the sauce mix. She also bashed a piece of root ginger on the board and added that with the garlic which she removed later on before serving. Also for the sauce she used her potato peeler to take a thin strip of orange peel zest and then micro sliced it into fine delicate shreds.Added a lovely orangey note.

[@mariap4828]

I used to use unsweetened canned pineapple as well years ago.

[@flowerlotus8940]

This recipe is definitely better than takeout… everything looks so beautiful you made it look so easy❤

[@DeadhunterThe]

Well, if plum is the flavor you prefer, there's also red plum jam. That's what I use when I make this sauce, and it is DELICIOUS!

[@johnmccrae1102]

I never see anyone eating their recipes at the end.I love this!!

[@loveispatient0808]

Yes, that’s Mandy’s signature, it’s actually quite cute and hilarious!😅

[@tombrennan7673]

I love your videos Mandy. Especially how you often explain the science behind the dishes. You are awesome!

[@angelad.8944]

Pork tenderloin just happened to be on sale my last grocery run. Lucky me! I magically have all the ingredients for this and I will be making it for dinner. I know it will not disappoint because it is from Mandy. ☺

[@GenericMcName]

This is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. Every time I'm at the local-ish Chinese restaurant, I always make a sweet and sour rice bowl for myself at the buffet, which the staff has commented on a few times at this point. I'm trying to convince them to put in more douchi into their black pepper beef, but I also understand why they omit it in their recipe, due how hard it is to find here in Denmark and because it's such an unusual flavour for Danish patrons.

[@jeanfranl305]

One of my favorite dishes of all time. I'm always looking for new versions of sweet and sour pork, and yours looks really great.

[@stevenshewell9730]

You must definitely try it.

[@stevenshewell9730]

This is absolutely the best sweet and sour pork I have ever had. It took me about 5 hours to follow your recipe and make it, but the entire family loved it so much that there were sadly no leftovers for the next day! Thank you for such a great recipe.

[@mariap4828]

Thanks Mandy! I love your recipes. You saved the day from boring meals. Your recipes are so great to cook. Why Do Take Out??!! Lol.

[@cheannbal]

This recipe is so GOOD!! I made it with pork shoulder and it is so tender. The sweet & sour sauce is the BEST I've ever had. Thank you!

[@edporter9355]

Hi Mandy. Absolutely UNMATCHED !! Could listen to you all day with your complete and detailed instructions. Will be looking for you in your next presentation. Thank You. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mariap4828]

Ok. I made it tonight Mandy. I NEVER had juicier and more tender meat EVER! The sauce was great. All good. Only!!! It took forever to prep. It was a LOT of work. Sooo good though. Best recipe EVER!!🎉

[@cakechiffon3948]

Good job! Very detailed instructions & explanations. Have cooked this numerous times👍

[@bmsamson]

Made this tonight and it was really good. Thank you! I made and will share some modifications, for what it's worth. I air fried the pork in my instant pot, instead of deep frying. Ten minutes at 400 and a ten minute rest, then two minutes more before folding into the rest in the wok. It probably could do with lower temp or less time next time I try this, as it was a bit tougher than ideal, but still, really good. Also, I cooked the veg & pineapple in just a little oil for nearly ten minutes before adding the sauce. I find especially the pineapple gets so much more flavor release that way. And being distracted I didn't read fully and diverged on the sauce making -- putting everything in a jar and just shaking that and adding it at once when the veg/fruit were cooked. I don't know if it made it any better but it was easier and certainly didn't hurt. Speaking of the sauce, I made a couple of changes there -- subbed sake for the wine b/c that was all I had, and duck sauce for the orange jam because it's mostly the more traditional apricot. Again, just minor things; glad to know it could work in the instant pot for my better half who doesn't like me to deep fry, and overall very happy with this recipe. Thanks again!

[@debi234]

I am making this for dinner tonight .. didnt have orange jam or plum sauce so I used cranberry sauce I had on hand. It tasted really yummy! Love your recipes

[@Orycal29]

Omgosh this looks so so good! One of my favorite dishes! Ty for posting this today, going to gather for the weekend dinner/treat!🤗💕

[@mariap4828]

Yup! I’m defrosting my pork tenderloin for this weekend as well!

[@paranormalbrothersmedia7060]

I tried it today, and I must say the entire family loved it! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and passion with us! You have gained another subscriber 🙂🙂🙂

[@bearwrex9806]

I just made this for my family and they absolutely love it. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, it's truly delicious. ❤

[@shellykearney7821]

Yummy, looking forward to making this. Thank you for sharing another amazing recipe. Your top is very pretty.

[@louisel.sinniger2057]

Yum, I love this recipe, so versatile with what ever protein you wish to use! Thank you

[@jimxcy]

In the Uk we add Worcestershire sauce to the sauce makes a big difference to the taste.

[@visiface]

i tried making this today and it was really, REALLY delicious! it is better than takeout, because i got to adjust how much sugar i wanted in the sauce, and it wasn't super crazy sweet like in the buffets. i will add less pineapple next time, as i'm getting sensitive to sweetness. I LOVE the bell peppers and will add more next time, but the pork was the BEST part - especially with the white rice. thank you for sharing this recipe! i had no clue sweet and sour sauce was so simple to make! (saw in the comments, too, about adding some orange zest for garnish - def gonna try that next time, too!)

[@mikel3419]

Perfectly done. Anyone following this should be very happy. Thanks for your channel and guidance.

[@marvinm8446]

This recipe is great🥰😋.

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

This looks so good! I never knew exactly what goes into sweet and sour sauce despite having eating about a gallon of it in my lifetime.

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Me? Probably 10 gallons over 70 years.

[@richardbradley2335]

TIPs 1. NO Corn starch lumps....mix any sauce in a bowl with a whisk first before adding.... . 2 . If adding to a pan to thicken... reserve some sauce and add/mix the CnSt in a bowl then add at the last 2mins.

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

In restaurant, we strain oil after use via paper filter (similar to coffee filter). Then oil can be reused, unless oil has been burned. 🤓

Oh Mandy my mouth was watering watching this, it looks so fresh and colourful…….I’m going to make it. Can you tell me is the orange jam the same as orange marmalade? In Australia I don’t think we have orange jam, also you said plum jam/sauce? Thank you for the video.

[@daddymcpapi7520]
