Tip
The sauce on its own is a fabulous base for any protein. Chicken would work just as well, but would need 2 x 10 minutes in the oven.
Serve Sweet and Sour Pork with rice on the side. Decorate with sliced spring onion.
Add snow peas, baby corn, bamboo shoots in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
If the meat is a tougher cut, such as shoulder, velvet it first. Add 1 tsp bi-carb soda to the meat cubes. Leave for an hour, rinse and dry.

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Made this again last night. It's so good! I could only get thinly sliced pork steaks, so I cut them into strips. Worked just as well, though only needed 2 x 10 minutes in the oven.
