Pork cubes are a bit tough... so I used thinly sliced pork to make easy meatball-style sweet and sour pork.

When cooking the pork meatballs, don't touch them at the beginning... only move them around when they're cooked and holding together. For 4 servings. Recipe by Nyakun

Steps

1

Season the thinly sliced pork with salt and pepper, rub in the garlic, and wrap each slice into a ball.
2

Sift the cake flour over the meatballs with a tea strainer or a fine mesh sieve. Turn the meatballs over and do the same to the other side.
3

Mix the sweet and sour pork sauce ingredients together.
4

Cut up the vegetables into bite sized pieces. Precook the hard vegetables like carrots in the microwave.
5

Put a generous amount of vegetable oil (not listed) and heat in a pan. Pan fry the meatballs over medium heat. Leave them as-is until browned lightly on one side.
6

Turn them over when they are about this browned, and cook the other side. When the meatballs have firmed up, cook them while shaking the pan.
7

Cover with a lid, and start cooking the vegetables starting with the ones that take longer.
8

When all the ingredients are cooked through, add the sweet and sour pork sauce and green peppers. When the sauce has thickened, it's done.
