What I’m Making: Sweet and Sour Pork

I’ve told you all before that I really enjoy recipes from Brooke Ervin on Facebook. You can find this recipe HERE.

A few weeks prior to this, I had seen a Brooke Ervin recipe for Sweet and Sour Chicken. We had some chicken that needed to be used in the freezer, so I thought I would try the recipe. It was 100% good. I had made it for just Rick and me, and there were leftovers for the next day. We had Kalissa’s boys here that day, and I ended up serving it to them. I told them it was chicken nuggets in Chinese sauce. HA!! Anything with chicken nuggets is a win with them.

So a week later, I had a little bit left of a pork loin. I had made pork tenderloins, and there was leftover meat. Just then, I saw Brooke’s recipe for Sweet and Sour Pork. It was pretty much the same as the Sweet and Sour Chicken. The boys were coming the next day, so I made it, making sure there were leftovers for the boys the next day.

It’s easy…cut up the pork into bite-sized pieces. Follow the directions for making a flour mixture for dipping.

Fry it up…

Make a sauce. We added pineapple the second time around.

Then mix the two together.

We served it with rice. It was YUMMY. At the beginning of the video, Brooke says, “There is no need to go out for takeout”. She is completely right. This was easy to make and so delicious. The boys did ask if it was sweet and sour chicken again. I said it sure looks like it. I didn’t want to rock the boat. They ate it and never knew it was pork and not chicken. HA!!

We’ll be making this recipe again.
