I've been on an Asian Inspired kick lately. Most likely because my fiance and I are in uber savings mode, and eating out isn't in the budget, but I am jonesing for a good trip to the Hunan Buffet.
One of the recipes I tried out this week was Sweet and Sour Pork. (click here to see a picture of the actual dish I made because I'm not able to upload directly to my blog right now).
First, I banged out some sweet and sour sauce using this recipe.
I cooked about two cups of brown rice according to the directions on the package.
Then, I neatly cut medium sized, thin four pork chops (trimmed of fat) into cubes, mixed them with a pre-packaged mix of corn, carrots, peas and beans. I half'ed the recipe for the sweet and sour sauce again, and mixed it in as the pork started to brown,along with a bit of garlic, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper.
Once the pork was finished cooking, I served it over the rice and topped it with the sweet and sour sauce.
Fiance liked the meal quite a bit. I always forget that brown rice takes FOREVER to cook, so the pork was a little bit more "done" than I would have liked, but the sweet and sour sauce was really, really good.
We got 4 good sized (complete meal sized) portions out of this recipe.
What are you eating today?
