Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pork with vegetables in sweet and sour sauce? Prepare all products. To make the finished version bright and appetizing, I took bell peppers of different colors (half green and half red). Ginger powder can be replaced with fresh root. Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to your taste. I used corn starch, it is softer and less sticky. Take 2 times less potatoes.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the pork and dry it with paper towels. Cut the pork into cubes, not too thick. Place the pieces in a deep bowl.

Step 3

Step 3
Add half the starch, pour in 2 tbsp. soy sauce and 100 ml. cold water.

Mix everything well and leave to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
