pan-fried sweet sour pork

The result was to my liking but oh, what a lot of work! I won't try it often unless I can think of an alternative way to chop or prepare the ingredients quicker.

Ingredients:
Red, green, yellow bell peppers, diced
onions, cubed
pork shoulder, cubed
canned pineapples, cubed
3 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp tomato sauce
2 tsp sugar, mix vinegar, tomato sauce and sugar
marinate the pork with soya sauce and hua tiao wine
coat pork with potato starch

Cooking part
Heat olive oil(I didn't pour alot, just my usual amt when pan frying)
add pork cubes slowly
flip and turn till cubes are cooked. Remove them.
using back some oil from the wok, stir fry the vegetables till cooked
add back the pork and fry again
drizzle the sweet sour sauce over and let simmer, stirring occasionally

Done! Love the traffic light colors!

Pots & Pans Savory

I like to try and experiment food in my kitchen. Decided to test if East is able to meet West harmoniously. You bet how glad it did!

A simple yet touching love story with a happy ending... in my tummy. =)

Steps:
- cook udon according to package instructions. I got mine at Daiso.
- I rinsed the cooked noodles a few times as I find it a tad too salty for my liking.
- Splash olive oil and saute with preferred meat till cooked and fragrant. I used minced meat.
- Heat pasta sauce in. Mine was bottled prepared (Preggos so far my fav choice)
- Stir and let simmer.
- Add back the cooked noodles and stir to coat evenly. I did this step as I rinsed the noodles in water and they became cold.
- Pour in clean bowl and slurrrp!

KIDS Version:
- Greens (eg: broccoli) can be added for nutritional value.
- Homemade pasta sauce instead of bottled.

**Usually I will test it on myself first before modifying for my toddler. Since this union works perfectly, I will prepare a kid friendly version for my son.
