CHINESE SWEET AND PUNGENT PORK
This recipe is from "The House of Chan Cookbook". The book was published in 1952 and was written by Sou Chan. He owned the famous House of Chan restaurant in New York. My aunt Theresa has made this dish many times and she still has the original book with its worn and yellowed pages. I recently purchased a used copy (much to my joy!) and thought I would post this much loved recipe. Prep and cooking times are approximate. (Depends on how fast you are...lol)
