Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb lean pork
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sweet vermouth
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
4 tbsp oil, divided , plus 4 cups oil , for deep frying
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup diced red and yellow bell peppers
2 tbsp diced onion
sweet and sour sauce
strips of green onion, for garnish
toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tsp soy sauce
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 1/2 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
2 tbsp pineapple juice
1/2 cup chopped canned pineapple
4 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 3 tbsp water , for thickening

Directions:

Sweet and Sour Sauce:
Cut pork into bite-size pieces and marinate for 30 minutes in mixture of soy, vermouth, garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons oil. Set aside.
Meanwhile, make the sweet and sour sauce:
In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients except the cornstarch mixture, blend well and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently until thickened. Be sure and bring your sauce to a boil before adding the cornstarch, otherwise the sauce may retain an unpleasant starchy taste.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove pork pieces from marinade and roll in cornstarch to coat well. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium-high heat. Stir-fry red and yellow pepper and diced onion for 2 minutes, then add Sweet and Sour sauce and fold in fried pork. Let simmer for 2 minutes, arrange on serving platter and garnish with long strips of green onion and toasted sesame seeds.
