observer Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Tried one last night: cheated a bit, with pre-packed veg from the S/Market and a sweet/sour sauce. Used sliced fillet steak - everythink done in the wok in less than 10 mins: verdict - OK - probably quite healthy (all those veg) but slightly too sweet - will need to experiment further.

Jerry Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I enjoy restaurant Sweet and Sour Pork and Sweet and Sour Beef. I wonder if the sauce you received packaged was simple red Plum Sauce. If I was preparing or supervising preparation of my meal I'd have to add pineapple chunks and onions to the sauce, maybe some sliced green peppers. Can't imagine what the veggies might have been. All I require is the breaded meat pre-deep fried, and then the plum sauce with pineapple, onions, and peppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Think the sauce had pineapple in it - according to the label. However, there are different sauces at the S/Market, so I'll try them all. One sauce they don't seem to have is Oyster Sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Observer, there is NOTHING wrong with as you put it cheating, we are not all sat at home all day growing our own, at least you're havign a go, good for you. Different supermarkets sell a different and or wider variety of the same range if that makes sense, so shop around, I go in different shops for different things.
