Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil. Simmer until sugar is dissolved. Rub cornstarch into pork pieces. Combine eggs, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add pork and stir to coat well.

Heat oil over high heat in a large, non-stick skillet. Add pork, in batches, and cook until golden and no longer pink inside. Transfer pork to a serving plate. Continue until all pork is cooked. Pour oil from pan, leaving 2 T in the pan. Stir-fry the bok choy until wilted; add pork and sweet and sour sauce. Stir and heat through. Serve hot with plain white rice.
