This recipe is incredible!! It is the clone of restaurant style sweet and sour pork. I will definately be making this time and time again.

This was a terrific recipe, one of my favorite stir fry dishes that I have gotten from this site. I agree with the previous reviewer that said it's worth it to deep fry the pork. I am not usually a big leftover person, but this was good even the next day!

I only went so far with this recipe as marinating and frying the pork, but it was wonderful! Way better than a restaurant. The pork was flavorful and crispy without all the unnecessary breading that you get at so many Chinese places. Yum!

Very tasty sweet-n-sour pork! Made as directed, with the following changes: (1) Sauteed in 2 Tbsp. oil instead of deep-frying; (2) reduced sugar in sauce to 2/3 cup as per others' suggestion; (3) reduced water by about 1/4 cup to achieve a thicker sauce. Delicious served over jasmine rice with fresh fruit on the side. We loved it---thanks, Pam_1!

This was my first time cooking sweet and sour pork and it will not be my last! So very close to what the restaurants serve! If you like a little crunch to your pork like I do, do not add to the sauce until the very end or it will become soggy. Fantastic recipe! Thanks!

I made this with chicken instead of pork and really enjoyed it. The only thing was that my sauce took longer than expected to thicken, so my veggies got very soft. In the future, I would add the meat to the saice and thicken, then add the veggies so that they don't go limp. Thanks for a great recipe!

great recipe. Cut down on recommended sugar as it was a bit too sweet.

Excellent 'as is.' I'll be adding this to my regular rotation. I chose this recipe because the country I'm currently living in has substandard take-out. The only thing I did different was for the sauce, substituting 3/4 cup pineapple juice (which cuts the water to 1/4 cup and sugar to 1/3 cup) because there isn't any canned pineapple, and I suspect the heavy syrup is the reason many people think the sauce is too sweet. I keep all components separate and let everyone choose whether they want soggy or crispy pork/vegies. A great recipe!

This was a good version. The sauce was very much like takeout. I enjoyed it while my family didn't care for it. Added a little extra cider vinegar to cut the sweetness.

Nice recipe, DH said that it was close to restaurant quality. (Sorry, I didn't try it, as I don't care for fruit and meat together) Thanks for posting.

Followed the recipe for the sauce and pork. I didn't use celery (don't like it much) but used red bell peppers instead. The sauce was too sweet so I had to adjust the taste by adding 1-2 Tablespoons of the apple cider vinegar. It came out great!! My hubby loved it and will definitely be making it again

5 stars for taste but be prepared...very messy, lots of prep, clean up work with many pots etc. Made as written except only used 1/2 cup sugar. Just the right balance of flavors. Served with egg fried rice. Yum!

This is, in all honesty, a bit labor intensive, and messy. That said, it's worth it all. Didn't change a thing. Nothing I can add to over two hundred well done" reviews. But everybody loves to hear ty's. And this lady deserves it. So thank you PAM_1, well done. Try this when you have the time to spare, friends, you will not regret it.
