Title: Sweet&Sour Pork with Lo Main
Post by: BBcue-Z on June 12, 2014, 07:22:07 AM
Had some pork loin on hand and decided to do some thing different with it.

Cut it into pieces and marinated them for 6 hrs  in :  Soya sauce, fish sauce, dry sherry, rice vinegar, pineapple juice, S&P, sugar, a dash of Chinese 5-spice, garlic, ginger and cornstarch.

Cut up some veggies

Dredged the pork pieces in a mixture of flour and cornstarch

Started with the veggies
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork4_zpsdb7b521c.jpg)
Added the Lo Main Noodles
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork5_zps93013648.jpg)
Then the sauce
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork6_zps19a25a9e.jpg)
And the Lo Main was done
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork7_zpsd414df0a.jpg)
Then I fried the pork pieces
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork8_zps3bc09d6e.jpg)
Almost done
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork9_zpscf3318c3.jpg)
added the peppers and onions
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork10_zps495da1dc.jpg)
Then the sweet and sour sauce
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork11_zps17c7c4af.jpg)
And then the cooked crispy pork pieces
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/bbcue-z/SSpork12_zps097965da.jpg)
And dinner was done :)

Mouth watering cook.  I'd have a big pot of steamed rice ready to be blessed by that pork.

That looks fantastic! Was this done in a wok on a grill? I'm gonna have to add this to my growing to-do list. Mmmmm

That's called "Discada", or sometimes referred to as "Cowboy Wok".
It's usually made out of an old plow disc with several different Mod's. Mine is a 24" disc with a 2" lip. It's made out of thick metal and it's very heavy. It holds  heat very well and it's well seasoned- in the same fashion as cast iron.

Thanks G,
Actually that was from Lone Star Grillz
http://www.lonestargrillz.com/

It's much deeper than the plow disc and heavier gauge. I chose it for it's depth, since I use it for cooking rice, steaming...etc.

Awesome cook. Iron Chef quality. How many cooks do you get on a 5 gallon propane?

cool deal, Z !!!!

This I may be able to get the wife interested in.....she loves this kind of stuff & if I go & do things I like better, sometimes the leftovers won't get used up as she tends to lose interest after round one....

Hey, this reminds me......were you the one who put up a cook that shows three different things done from the 3 sections of a whole pork loin?

Somewhere I saw that & lost track of the posting....might have been one of your's?

Thanks Craig :)
I do a lot of fried rice as well :)

Thanks argentflame :)
The burner uses very little gas and the tank last a long time. Most of the thing I cook on the Discada are quick and I've never really counted how many cooks I get out of it. Some times I use the tank with other cookers and loose track of which one used the most fuel.

Thanks 1buckie,
Yes, it was me :) it was the Schnitzel thread.
I separated a whole pork loin to it's three primary cuts- Center, Rib and Sirloin

The cut I used for the sweet&sour pork was from the sirloin end.
