Sweet and Sour Pork Noodles – Delicious sweet and sour sauce over pork and noodles. Your tummy will be happy with this tried and tested recipe.
When it comes to cooking, you don’t always have to make everything according to the book.
For example: this absolutely delicious and appetizing sweet and sour pork noodles.
Who says that sweet and sour pork can only be prepared as an entree and serve with steamed rice only.
And certainly, noodle doesn’t have to be the same old chow mein.
Take two of the most popular Chinese recipes and combine them together means that you have the best of both worlds, in one dish!
The taste is easy on the palate, the presentation utterly toothsome, what’s more, it’s a fulfilling and satisfying meal.
There is nothing not to love about this killer combination.
However, I am not the one who created this winning dish.
I was inspired by a cookbook that I browsed randomly at the book store.
I came home and created my own version.
If you are not a pork eater, you can easily make this dish into a sweet and sour chicken noodles, which I am sure will be equally tantalizing.
This combo has certainly sparked a few ideas in me, think kung pao chicken noodles.
It can’t be half bad!

Hello Bee, I would like to know what type of pork you are using. Thank you
You can use pork butt or pork tenderloin, it’s your personal preference.
We particularly like this dish because the pork isn’t battered and deep fried. We also loved the sauce which isn’t overly sweet–just enough sugar to give a hint of sweetness. The recipe as written was perfect for the two of us.
Thanks Janet, thanks for trying my recipe!
Not sure if I saw them on the ingredients list, but what are thin green & red slices in those food pictures above?
Hi Kyle. Those are thinly sliced green onions and red chili as part of garnish. It’s completely optional.
