Sweet and Sour Pieces

Mains

Easy Level:

Fresh sweetness along with hints of sourness, this classic Chinese sweet and sour sauce goes extremely well with anything from rice, vegetables or meats. The sweet crunch from pineapples, combined with the contrasting sour punch from white vinegar – it creates that ultimate blend of flavours to coat and lather your food in!
Sweet and sour chicken or pork dishes are mouthwatering tasty indulgences for your tastebuds but your waistlines might say otherwise. So why not please your tastebuds while keeping off those pounds. Try Quorn Meat Free Pieces! Its main ingredient is Mycoprotein, which is produced by fermenting a natural fungus and it is low in saturated fat, contains zero cholesterol and packed with protein and fibre! These guilt-free meatless pieces are surprisingly tender. Best enjoyed when coated with egg and cornstarch and fried to golden brown perfection. Give your sauce a quick taste check before you douse those crisped meat free chunks into the sauce, coating each with that glossy finish. What better way to eat healthy and savour this deliciously satisfying meatless alternative.
