One of our family’s favorite meals is home made  Cantonese inspired sweet and sour pork!  When someone reaches their birthday in our family, we seldom let them cook and we make for them the meal of their choice as part of the celebration. However, when we make this dish, everyone gets involved!

Today, we do a certain amount of simple preparation: 1) slicing and marinating the pork tenderloin 2) making the main sauce and 3) finding the right vegetables for the occasion! One of the world’s great cuisines is Chinese and in all of their tasty variations. Although we used many canned ingredients we use many fresh as well.

Just a few of the items in use for this special occasion!

In addition, we will add some of the produce of California: red bell peppers, green onions, white sweet onions, and fresh garlic.

Cooking together is always fun… Tonight we will do our ‘first’ frying of the pork!
