DAY 55 RECIPE: SWEET AND SOUR PORK

A good way to use leftovers! I ade a pork roast the other night, had a decent amount leftover and thought I could try to make something aside from sandwiches with it. So I made this sweet and sour pork. Super easy prep. Takes a bit of cooking time, but not much effort! Can always be made with other kinds of pork, even if it is not cooked yet , you can cut it into strip and just extend the initial saute time a bit.
Hope you enjoy this! I think next time I make chow mein I will make this as a side dish!  Enjoy!
