BETTER THAN TAKEOUT - Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe 

This recipe is definitely better than takeout… everything looks so beautiful you made it look so easy❤

Your mum must be so proud of you. You honour her by sharing so many of her yummy recipies with the world.

Well, if plum is the flavor you prefer, there's also red plum jam. That's what I use when I make this sauce, and it is DELICIOUS!

Pork tenderloin just happened to be on sale my last grocery run. Lucky me! I magically have all the ingredients for this and I will be making it for dinner. I know it will not disappoint because it is from Mandy. ☺

This is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. Every time I'm at the local-ish Chinese restaurant, I always make a sweet and sour rice bowl for myself at the buffet, which the staff has commented on a few times at this point. I'm trying to convince them to put in more douchi into their black pepper beef, but I also understand why they omit it in their recipe, due how hard it is to find here in Denmark and because it's such an unusual flavour for Danish patrons.

YUMMY! Looks similar to the way my Cantonese mum used to do it, except in England at the time she used pineapple in natural juice which then went into the sauce mix. She also bashed a piece of root ginger on the board and added that with the garlic which she removed later on before serving. Also for the sauce she used her potato peeler to take a thin strip of orange peel zest and then micro sliced it into fine delicate shreds.Added a lovely orangey note.

I love that you've gone back to your older style where you're sitting at the table with no music ❤ I would eat that whole bowl happily and have no regrets!

One of my favorite dishes of all time. I'm always looking for new versions of sweet and sour pork, and yours looks really great.

One of my favorite dishes also😊thank you😊

Made this recipe and it turned out perfectly. Thank you so much. One of my favs as a HK kid;)

wow that looks delicious!

I learned a lot from you :) My grandma also loves Chinese style dishes.

One of my favorite dishes!

Hi, Love sweet and sour dishes. Thank You for sharing.

I have no idea where my aunt picked up a very similar recipe, but every few weeks, it showed up in her elderly dinner center. :D fantastic that your recipe is exactly like my aunt's recipe. Thank you for the beautiful memories of this dish. And I will recreate it again and again.

AA wonderful recipe for a childhood memeory. Luv this dish!

I’m hooked on your videos, watching while I cook!

Looks amazing

Made this tonight with pork shoulder - so tender! Loved it.

I can't replicate my local chinese's sweet&sour pork recipe. They are truly the best I love them so much.

My absolute favorite!

Tempting..I will surely try with Chicken for my son 😉

Ok. I made it tonight Mandy. I NEVER had juicier and more tender meat EVER! The sauce was great. All good. Only!!! It took forever to prep. It was a LOT of work. Sooo good though. Best recipe EVER!!🎉

I can't wait to try this!

I enjoy most of your Chinese recipes. I have cooked up some of your recipes for my family and I never seem to make enough or if there is leftovers it's usually a fight to see who gets to take them home.

Bing bang boom I'm making this tomorrow night with my girlfriend. The pork tenderloin is thawing as we speak. Thanks Mandy, you share so much goodness.

Thank you so much dear Mandy! I'm koo-koof for your wonderful videos! 😊

That looks mouthwatering good, 🤤🤤🙂 I have to try

I love your videos. Keep it up. 😉👍

I gotta try this!!

In the Uk we add Worcestershire sauce to the sauce makes a big difference to the taste.

Watching Mandy cook is like getting a bouquet of daisies for me. Cheers Mandy fans! 🎉

Looks so delicious.”Yum yum “❤❤❤

I also love sweet and sour pork and will make your recipe next weekend. I have a pork tenderloin on hand too!

Battered and fried pork… automatically good. The fact that it’s easy enough that even I can do it is a nice bonus!

Perfect as always, Mandy. :) You are a dreamy chef, Good food that really turns out well. I would like to see braised fish with brown sauce and onion. My A-yi made it all the time.

Delicious!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😋😋

Mandy as always looks delicious

Excellent.

I gotta make this!

Looks so yummy and tempting 👍

Good job on the video 👍🏻

i tried making this today and it was really, REALLY delicious! it is better than takeout, because i got to adjust how much sugar i wanted in the sauce, and it wasn't super crazy sweet like in the buffets. i will add less pineapple next time, as i'm getting sensitive to sweetness. I LOVE the bell peppers and will add more next time, but the pork was the BEST part - especially with the white rice. thank you for sharing this recipe! i had no clue sweet and sour sauce was so simple to make! (saw in the comments, too, about adding some orange zest for garnish - def gonna try that next time, too!)

Really delicious, I really like your recipe

Made this tonight and it was really good. Thank you! I made and will share some modifications, for what it's worth. I air fried the pork in my instant pot, instead of deep frying. Ten minutes at 400 and a ten minute rest, then two minutes more before folding into the rest in the wok. It probably could do with lower temp or less time next time I try this, as it was a bit tougher than ideal, but still, really good. Also, I cooked the veg & pineapple in just a little oil for nearly ten minutes before adding the sauce. I find especially the pineapple gets so much more flavor release that way. And being distracted I didn't read fully and diverged on the sauce making -- putting everything in a jar and just shaking that and adding it at once when the veg/fruit were cooked. I don't know if it made it any better but it was easier and certainly didn't hurt. Speaking of the sauce, I made a couple of changes there -- subbed sake for the wine b/c that was all I had, and duck sauce for the orange jam because it's mostly the more traditional apricot. Again, just minor things; glad to know it could work in the instant pot for my better half who doesn't like me to deep fry, and overall very happy with this recipe. Thanks again!

thanks again!! :)

I am going to try this out this weekend

This recipe is great🥰😋.

My husband's favorite!

2 tbsp of orange jam!!! Marmalade, is most unusual. Will definitely give this a try.

You make it look so easy. I need a chef or even marry one!!

Always amazing recipes to make meal times great in the UK 😂👍

Super, thanks for this recipe! Is this a new version? Think you had a similar recipe to this already

Delicious

The best s&s recipe I've ever seen ...Cantonese man's step daughter1❤😊

LOVE LOVE YOUR DEMONSTRATION where can I get your oil tester. I will try this recipe soon. So happy I found you.❤❤

I'm gluten free and our go to Chinese restaurant closed, owner operator retired. I'm going to try this delicious recipe I can't deep fry very well but this seems easy. 😋 Thank you!

HI Mandy, another great video as always, thank you 😊 Just wondering where you purchased your oil container that you used in the video? I have one, but not as good as this one & would love to get one of the one's you have. Thank you Greg

Looks delicious

Mine came out great

yummy!

Oh Mandy my mouth was watering watching this, it looks so fresh and colourful…….I’m going to make it. Can you tell me is the orange jam the same as orange marmalade? In Australia I don’t think we have orange jam, also you said plum jam/sauce? Thank you for the video.

Thanks for the great videos! Just wanted to ask what oil you use as the few videos I have watched it isn’t mentioned

This looks so good! I never knew exactly what goes into sweet and sour sauce despite having eating about a gallon of it in my lifetime.

Im definitely making this, but with chicken very soon

Yummy 😋👍

I make this few times a month but I also add red chilli for a little kick
