    We enjoyed this for dinner last night. I did add some chicken and some kielbasa I needed to use up and had to use yellow pepper instead of red. But the proportions were great. I had plenty of egg. I added some red pepper flakes to mine and it was really good! Thanks Chef!

    Yummy yummy yummy!!! I more or less cut the recipe in 1/2 and it still make 5-6 servings (with rice). I added the baby corn to mine, only to find out that DH doesn't like it. He's never had it before... How is that possible?! LOL. I also added a small can of pineapple chunks and only used green bell pepper b/c the red were unbelievably expensive at the store. He loved the sweet/sour taste of the dish. I will definitely be making this one again. Thanks for sharing.

    LOVED this recipe. I also found a need for more egg and cornstarch for the pork. In addition I added broccoli, carrots and pineapple chunks. The sweet and sour sauce was just right for my tastes. Will be adding this to my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

    Has an excellent flavor, not too sweet for being a sweet and sour dish. Is very much Polynesian in flavor rather than being like Chinese. I did have to add more oil, more egg, and more cornstarch, so somebody may want to make sure they have extra before proceeding. I served mine with steamed jasmine rice. Thanks for posting!
