Sweet and Sour Minced Pork Ball

300 gm minced pork (seasoned in light soya sauce and sesame oil)
carrots
green pepper (optional)
pineapple cubes (if pineapple cubes are from can, can add some pineapple juice in too)
1/2 cup cornflour (est)
1/2 cup water (est)
4 to 5 tbsp of ketchup
1/2 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tbsp sugar or to taste
1 beaten egg

Method
Marinate minced pork with few drops of light soya sauce and sesame oil.
Add beaten egg and mix well.
Add corn flour and mix well.
Spoon mixture one by one into oil and deep fry till golden brown.
Set aside.
In a wok, add some oil and throw in carrot and green pepper.
Add ketchup, vinegar, sugar, water and mix well.
Throw pork back into sauce together with pineapple cubes and mix well.
Let pork absorb the sauce till almost dry but mine has more gravy cause kids like the gravy with rice.
Serve hot. Yummy

Lunch at Jack's Place

I had lunch with my two sisters and a niece at our favourite Jack's Place. It was fun and enjoyable.

Chicken Salad

Sirloin Steam with rosemary sauce topped with fried scallop

Fried Dory Fish

Grilled Fillet Fish with ginger lemon orange sauce

Steak with baked potato (my niece had this but I forgot the full name for this dish).

Comes with coffee or tea and mango pudding. (Oh I forgot to take photo of the soup of the day and garlic bread)

Konnyaku Jelly

Originally I wanted to make some egg agar agar but decided to make them with konnyaku jelly.

Pour some of the jelly into empty egg shell and added some slices of peaches.

Set in the fridge and when they are harden, cracked the shell and you can see the egg jelly with the fruit inside. It is fun and interesting.

I make some with the different jelly moulds.
