Sweet and sour pork


Sweet and sour pork has to be one of the most popular dishes ordered from a Chinese restaurant.  Often though, you'll receive a dish filled with fluorescent red meat pieces, sprinkled with a few pieces of pineapple.  If you want a much healthier version, then try mine!  Mine has no msg with lots of vegetables that compliment the pork.  And the sauce?  Well, you'll have to trust me that it is absolutely delicious!
