Sweet and Sour Pork Casserole is a classic Chinese takeaway recipe that you can easily make at home. The flavours are amazing and the cost is less than a takeaway. Once you have made this, cooking a full Chinese meals will come naturally. This is full of colours, flavours, textures and aromas that everyone will love. I have used pork in this recipe but chicken is a superb alternative. The combination of Pork, bright green bell peppers and pineapple chunks works so well that is often the main dish I base the meal around. Serve with Simple Egg Fried Rice, Vegetable Chow Mein, Chicken and Vegetable Spring Rolls and if pushing the boat out, Beef in 2Oyster Sauce.
