Pork Breader
Ingredients
1/2 cup Pork Breader
8 oz. boneless pork - cut into 1-inch pieces
4 tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 egg white - slightly beaten
canola oil for frying
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
8 1/2 oz. chunk pineapple - drained - reserving juice
1/2 red bell pepper - cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 green bell pepper - cut into 1-inch pieces
1 carrot - cut into thin rounds
1 scallion - diced small
Directions: 

For pork: Mix 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp cornstarch together; pour over pork and marinate for 20 minutes. Drain meat and place in a small plastic bag. Add 1-2 tbsp House-Autry Pork Breader and shake to lightly coat meat. Remove from bag and set aside.

For tempura batter: Combine 1/3 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup House-Autry Pork Breader, water, egg white and 1 tsp canola oil. Mix well to eliminate lumps. Add seasoned pork, coating completely. Working in small batches, deep fry in 375° oil until batter puffs up and pork turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For sauce: whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp cornstarch, sugar, vinegar, ketchup and pineapple juice. Bring ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. As sauce thickens add pineapple chunks, peppers and carrot. Add reserved pork and cook until vegetables are slightly tender and pork is thoroughly heated.
