Improvised Sweet and Sour Pork


Okay normally if I make Sweet and Sour Pork I use this recipe as a guideline http://chinesefood.about.com/od/pork/r/sweetsourpork.htm, but I didn't have all of the ingredients so I just improvised like a mad woman. I love exact  measurements as much as the next OCD person, but this was truly just tossed together because I needed to cook the boneless chops before they go bad. I wanted to make a standard format for my cooking related posts, but that is going to have to wait. This recipe was designed to provide two servings since the hubby is anti-leftovers. I actually made it last night but didn't finish the post.

Ingredients:

5 Boneless Pork Chops
? Flour
? Teriyaki Sauce
? Sweet and Sour Sauce
? Garlic Powder
? Paprika
1 Package Uncle Ben's Ready Rice [I used Garden Vegetable this time, but I prefer the fried or teriyaki variety.]
? Canola Oil

Steps:

1. Preheat your oil for frying the meat. I used my deep fryer at 375. Stove top works as well, but that's how I burned down my kitchen so I'll stick to what I know XD.

2. Trim fat from chops as you cut them into bite size cubes.

3. Place cubes in a medium bowl and season. I just added enough seasoning and teriyaki to coat all the pieces evenly. However, I've been told I'm very light handed with seasoning. Repeat this process with the flour.

4.Put the flour coated meat chunks in the basket and fry for about five minutes or until golden brown/crispy.

5. Drain meat then place in a skillet which you will have on medium low heat. Add sweet and sour sauce and coat the meat completely.

6. Pop rice in microwave for 90 seconds.

7. Serve how you like once rice is done.

Simple enough, and it takes like 30 minutes if that.
