Recipe Fact: Traditional sweet-and-sour pork consists of deeptried pork pieces cooked in a sweet-tart sauce made with sugar and vinegar. Ground ginger flavors the sauce in this lean and easy one-pot version.

Ingredient Info: Long-grain white rice is sometimes referred to as polished rice and typically cooks in about 20 minutes. You can use converted rice if you like rice to be fluffier and more separated. It will take about 5 minutes longer to cook.

Ingredient Substitution: Serve this pork over hot cooked noodles instead of rice. For a more authentic presentation, use cellophane or rice noodles.
