Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the deep fat fryer to the correct setting noted by the manufacturers. If cooking rice from scratch, salt a saucepan of water and begin to boil the rice.
Create the sweet and sour sauce using the ingredients. I find there is no set recipe for how much to add, so add small bits until it's right for you.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cut the pork into reasonably-sized chunks. Create the batter by mixing plain flour, salt and water together to make a relatively thick mixture.

Step 3

Coat the pork with the batter and place in the deep fat fryer until piping hot throughout.

Step 4

Whilst waiting for the pork to fry, the rice needs to be drained. Pour hot water over the rice to make it less mushy.

Step 5

Sufficiently oil the wok and pour in the rice. Beat the egg(s) and add salt and pepper. When the rice is hot, pour in the egg a bit at a time, making sure to thoroughly coat it. Then add the soy sauce to taste.

Step 6

Reheat the sauce you made earlier if it's cooled down. Serve up and enjoy.

You can substitute for chicken if you wish.
