Sweet and Sour Pork

Hello from my kitchen. *grin*
 
So our grocery store had an awesome sale on country style pork ribs and we took total advantage of it. Made a lot of new dinners and some old with a new twist. This is the first of them.
 
Sweet and Sour Pork over Rice
 
 
Ingrediants-
 
onion mixture, found in freezer section. contains diced onions, bell pepers, celery and parsely
1 small bag of sliced carrots
3 lbs pork , cubed
Sauce ingrediants
 8 to 16 servings of rice , I make enough for lunch leftovers but you do not have to
 
You can add pineaple, water cahsews and even baby corn to this if you like.
 
 
 
We cooked our ribs low and slow in the dutch oven for 4 hours in the sweet and sour sauce but I would suggest only adding half the vinager it calls for, if you use 1/2 c it will make the meat VERY tart. You WILL NOT reuse this sauce for the vegtable cooking stage.
 
Sweet and Sour Sauce -
3/4 cup sugar
4 Tbsp ketchup
1/2 c white vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
 
Directions-
 
Once the meat is cooked. Dice it into small bite sized peices and set aside.
 
Add onion mix and a small amount of butter to dutch oven or stew pot and stir till it softens.
Add in sweet and sour sauce and carrots. Let this come to a bubbling boil.
Add in meat and turn heat down to simmer.
While this mixture is simmering cook your rice by following the directions on the package.
 
Serve by placing a bed of rice onto plate or in bowl and laddle the meat and suce mixture on top.
