I dipped mine in Batter then deeped fried, then served with fried vegtable rice on Tuesday. No sauce, but you could wap together a sugar and vinegar base for a sauce, add you chilli stuff and have a hot dip on the side!

Penny-Pincher!!

Do you have any tinned toms....maybe a curry Throw it all in...serve with rice or spuds.

Hi ageandjo,

If you have something sweet like orange juice or pineapple juice and some vinegar you could still make sweet and sour pork.

Brown the pork in a pan, add the onions peppers, mushrooms and maybe a few of the mixed veg. Add a stock cube(disolved in a little water) and some garlic. Reduce the heat and allow the pork to cook through.

Make the sauce: mix 2/3 of a cup of juice with a tbsp of ketchup, a tbsp of wine or cider vinegar (but ordinary will do), some soy sauce if you have it, and a little of the chilli stuff. Mix a tsp of cornflour into the mixture.

Add the sauce to the pan and cook until it thickens.

This is just what I would do with your ingredients, so it hasn't been tried and tested.....normally I use a tin of pineapple chunks and use the juice from the can to make the sauce.

Hi, these recipes any use to you? For the last one you can use the diced pork. These are some of my recipes.


Garlic Pork Hot Pot :-


Ingredients: (serves 4)

400-500g diced pork
button mushrooms (about 12-20)
2 onions sliced
fresh garlic, chopped (this is to taste, I usually use 4 cloves chopped for this recipe but you can vary this to suit your tastes)
1 large carrot sliced
vegetable stock (enough to cover mixture in casserole dish)
1 tbsp cornflour OR 200ml onion gravy (made up very thick)


Method:

Preheat your oven to 200C (Gas Mark 4/5). Get a large casserole dish and place in the pork, mushrooms, onions, garlic, carrot and lastly the vegetable stock. Pour in enough to cover the item and no more. Put the lid on and place in the oven for about 45 minutes. Take out the dish, give everything a good stir and add the cornflour or onion gravy (cornflour can be tricky if you're not used to using it and you can end up with lumps. For ease use the onion gravy as it will give the same effect). Place lid back on the dish and place back in the oven at 180C (Gas Mark 3) for about 40 minutes. If you have a fan assisted oven the cooking times can be reduced by about 5-10 minutes.

Once cooked, serve immediately. Lovely with new boiled potatoes or sweet potato mash. This dish does not need herbs or pepper added as it can taint the garlic flavour.



Sticky Honey Pork stiry fry (serves 4):-
(Alternative for Sticky Garlic Honeyed Pork mentioned below)

Ingredients:

400-500g diced Pork
2 peppers sliced (one red, one green)

Marinade:

4 tbsp clear honey
2tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Method:

Heat a 50p sized blob of olive oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the pork and keep the pork moving until it has browned. In a small bowl combine the honey and soy sauce and sesame seeds if desired. Add the honey mixture to the cooked pork, then add the sliced peppers and continue to stir through until the peppers are cooked. This is lovely with egg thread noodles.
Alternatively by substituting the soy sauce for garlic paste (do not use the sesame seeds if attempting this version), you can have Sticky Garlic Honeyed Pork. The honey and garlic paste mixture will look very cloudy once mixed together but I can assure you it will work out fine.


Coca-cola Pork chops:-
(serves 2)

Ingredients:

Pork chops (1-2 per person)
1 can Coca-Cola (Full fat version)

Method:

Lightly score the surface of the pork chops and place in a high walled container with a lid or use clingfilm to cover (I use a tupperware box), add the coca cola. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours. I use Coca-cola rather than any other brand as I find it gives the best flavour. Once ready then grill as normal on a high heat, both sides. Best served with buttery mash. I've found this is well received even by the fussiest of children.

I got some diced pork the other day and need to use it now.

My first thought was just to make a Curry using it & a jar of Lidls lovely Curry Sauce.

Any other recommendations. I dont really want to make a Stew
