Asian Stuff, Sweet & Sour Pork


So... For Christmas my wonderful girlfriend bought me an Asian cookbook and my mother got me a wok. Over winter break, I made a few things from it including Lemon Chicken, Mandarin Beef, Chicken and Sweet Corn Soup, Chilli Pork Spare Ribs, and a few other small things. A couple days ago I made Sweet & Sour Pork over rice. The sauce had everything in it. I put fresh pineapple, sweet peppers, onions, carrots, and 'stir fry vegetables' (including baby corns, spring onions, water chestnuts, and other stuff). It didn't exactly turn out the way I imagined, but it was still good. I think I made about twice as much sauce as pork, but again, it was still good. For those who don't know, the sauce (the part that makes sweet & sour pork what it is) is made up of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, orange juice, cornflour, and tomato puree. That's right, the sauce has tomato sauce in it! That's why it is red. Anyways... I wonder what I should make next. Maybe Peeking Duck! Mmmm... Duck.
