Gluten Free Sweet n Sour Pork
Raquel Bosustow
luten Free Sweet n Sour Pork is definitely the 1980's Chinese Restaurant favourite dish in Austalia. I loved picking out the pineapple as a kid and enjoying the different flavours. This was long before I realised I could not eat gluten! Then for 25 years, I was unable to order this dish. As I became more adventurous with my gluten free cooking and making up my own recipes, this was my first dish that I just had to recreate! Not only for the gluten free version but to eliminate the excessive sugar that is no neeinded in this dish. You are going to love the flavours and the tenderness of the pork.
