SWEET & SOUR PORK

Sweet & Sour Pork image

My grandmother made this for me on Valentine's Day when I was a child. Now I make it for my children on Valentine's. I usually make brown rice or rice noodles and add thinly sliced Bok Choy to up the vegetable intake. I've never had leftovers. -Barbara Hinterberger, Buffalo, New York
