Sweet and Sour Sauce

I wanted to share this recipe here on Plum Tree because number 1, it's super easy and number 2, it's a recipe from China, that can have different variations to it. I've only made it once before, and everyone loved it and I was surprised that it turned out so well. Not that I'm an awful cook or anything, I just didn't know how good it would actually be!

So, I had the itch to make it once again! I was kind of under a time crunch when cooking it though, but sometimes that can be a good thing because then you're really focused on what you're doing. Chopping, stirring, chopping some more and getting too much onion rays in your eyes to even see what you are even doing, Don't you hate that? Any soultions? I've heard chewing gum can distract you, or wearing goggles? I think my lab days are over. Chopping some more, and listening to Lord Huron while seeing the meat sizzle, that's real lovely. And I finished the moment I had to go and say good bye to my creation for a while. For this recipe, you can choose to cook the the sauce with pork, beef or fish. I chose beef strips, it goes really well all together along with rice.

This recipe came from Mary Knoll International Cookbook, mentioned in my last post. I want to challenge myself with other recipes from here as well!

Oops! Don't you hate when that happens? Or maybe it makes the cookbook look more used and vintage. Yep, soy sauce decided to splatter on the page.

And there's the finshed look, with everything combined. I don't think it will be too long until I make this keeper recipe again!
