We love love love this. We don't use all the sauce, our kids only like a scoop over the top of there pork and rice, so we freeze half for another time. I'm sure as they get older they'll want more! If we have guests I'll double the pork and use all the sauce and it's a huge hit.
no.1crankypants: bowl vs bowel can't stop laughing - i notice you didn't review the recipe, did you make it?

Will be making again. Halved sugar and it was perfect. Coated pork and stir fried.
Made with cooked pork sausages .. worked well, I did add more cook time to tenderize the carrots .. made a quick meal
i used left over roast pork and just heated it thru the sauce and used Hokkien noodles instead of rice and it was great must try it the way the recipe states ....yummy
This was delish! Few amendments. I dusted pork in flour & pan fried then just added to sauce mixture in the thermo server.
I only had a 225g tin of pineapple pieces & this was plenty enough still. Dropped sugar to 80g (also didnt bother milling it). Used whatever veg I had in the fridge.
Very tasty!!
Great recipe, thank you

Great recipe, thanks
We cooked stir-fry noodles instead of rice.

This is delicious, the family loved it! I didn’t bother battering the pork, just cooked it in the sauce for 10mins at varoma, the scotch fillet turns out SO tender. You could easily double the pork as there is loads of sauce. Thankyou!
So pleased with the results! Started to battered and deep fry the pork, but ended up coating in flour and almost stir frying it. Just beautiful and our visitors came back for seconds. Thanks for sharing.
