I'm making this tonight for the 2nd time! My husband and I loved it. I could do without the hot pineapples but I always cook them in it and it gives it a nice sweetness. Great recipe!

I didn't have ginger, corn starch, water chestnuts or peppers. I used pretty thick bone-in pork chops and browned them using butter, a couple cloves of sliced garlic, salt and pepper. I mixed all the other ingredients in a bowl and tasted it before I put it in the skillet with the chops. I put the pineapple chunks in and didn't make the separate sauce. I added a little hot sauce cuz I like it spicy. My husband liked it, who usually thinks my cooking is bland, and my very picky daughter liked it and asked for more. I overcooked it a little cuz my other daughter fell and split her lip while I was cooking, so there were some charred bits but those bits ended up tasting good (nice carmelized flavor). I liked this recipe and will definitely use it again.

I just tried this recipe. Except I used pork loin instead of pork chops and I cut it into bit size strips. I really like it. I put the water chestnuts in and I wish I didn't other than that it was great. I didn't have a dutch oven so I just cooked everything in a large skillet. It took me 25 minutes for the whole recipe. Yay!

This recipe was easy and delicious! I had all the ingredients in my pantry, which was great because I was searching for easy recipe while I was at work and didn't want to have to go to the store. My Aunt who was a guess for dinner said she could have eaten just the rice and sauce all by itself. This was definitely a do againer.

My Dad who hates Asian foods usually, totally loves this. It tastes like what sweet and sour pork should, with healthy ingredients...what else can you ask for?

I used shredded left over pork roast to make Chinese chow mein. I used a can of chow main and added the pork. I doubled the recipe above except I used cider vinegar. Served this over rice and the family loved it!!!
