Sweet & Sour Pork/Chicken

Submitted by gnet9820

"this is from a cookbook i purchased while living in thailand. it is a very favorite of mine, both for flavor and as i usually have all the ingredients on hand. you can choose to use either chicken or pork. while it could be enjoyed as its own meal, i like to cook this along with my vegetarian delight and cashew chicken to really wow the family and friends."
