This is a method and a recipe in one. Do you know how chicken and beef in Chinese restaurants has a soft, melting texture? That's due to "velveting" the chicken or beef! And in this recipe and post I show you how to do it with recipes for Beef & Broccoli and Chicken and Snow Peas!

I have to admit that I'm slightly addicted to really good sweet and sour pork (and there are so many bad versions out there too). The home made version is so tasty with good quality pork and a well balanced sauce!
