There are a handful of dishes that I remember fondly throughout my life and this is one of them.
有几道菜我一生都念念不忘,这就是其中之一。
You cube up a loin of pork or some boneless pork chops and dip them in a simple batter of flour, egg and water. Then you deep fat fry them in oil until they're crispy. Set them aside in the toaster oven on a low heat to keep them warm and stop them from getting soggy.
你把猪里脊或无骨猪排切成方块,蘸上由面粉、鸡蛋和水调成的简单面糊。然后在油里深炸直到酥脆。把它们放在预热好的烤箱里,用低温保温,防止回软。
Get out the wok!
拿出炒锅!
Into the wok, you throw in some oil and sauté long strips of green pepper. They shouldn't cook until soft, just cook until they're hot all the way through - you want them to retain some of their crunch. Then you toss in a can of pineapple cubes, reserving the juice for later. Toss it all in the wok until its steaming and hot.
往锅里倒点油,炒青椒长条。不用炒到变软,只要炒到完全热透就行——你要让它们保留一点脆劲。然后倒进去一罐菠萝块,菠萝汁留着备用。把所有东西翻炒均匀,直到冒着热气。
Then you add the sweet & sour sauce. This is made with vinegar, the juice from the pineapple, and a slurry of cornstarch mixed with water. The sauce will be very sour and slightly sweet. Stir it in the wok until it thickens.
然后加入甜酸酱。这酱是用醋、菠萝汁以及玉米淀粉和水调成的水淀粉做的。酱汁会非常酸,带点甜味。在锅里搅拌直到酱汁变浓稠。
Once the sauce is thickened to the consistency of salad dressing, you toss the warm pork pieces into it and coat them liberally.
一旦酱汁浓稠到沙拉酱的质地,就把温热的猪肉块倒进去,均匀地裹上酱汁。
Serve the mix over buttered rice!
把做好的菜拌在抹了黄油的米饭上吃!
Delicious! Simple too!
美味!也很简单!
