  5. 1 tbspLight Soy Sauce

  15. 3 tbspSugar
  16. 3 tbspKetchup
  17. 3 tbspVinegar
  18. 2 tbspPineapple Juice
  19. 1 tspCornflour Mixed With 1 tbsp Water

Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Cut the Pork into equal size cubes.

  2. 2

    Put all the Marinade into a bowl (apart from Flour) and mix wet the put in the pork and combine together. cover and put in fridge for 30 mins upto 3 hours.

  3. 3

    For the Sauce, put all into a pan apart from cornflour mix and cook for around 4 mins - you want to Burn off the really strong vinegar smell but still leave the Sour. I add 1 extra spoon of Dark brown sugar (Optional) but this makes the sauce more sweet but darker in colour - maybe not as near as your take away lol.

  4. 4

    Stir in the Courflour with water into the hot sauce and cook for another 2 mins until thick, sweet and delicous. You can put to one side until ready to serve.

  5. 5

    For Batter mix all together in a large bowl and let rest for 5-10 mins.

  6. 6

    In a large pan heat oil for frying. Sprinkle the 2 Tbsp of remaining floor over the oven and coat well. Then add around 1/3 of the pcs into the batter then fry carefully. They need around 3-4 mins until golden brown and floating. Remove to some kitchen paper to drain and then repeat until all pork cooked.

  7. 7

    Reheat the sauce and serve next to the balls imediately - if you pour the sauce over then the batter gets soggy - but thats how my take away serves it lol.

  8. 8

    Enjoy and soon you will make again soon. :)
