Singapore Sweet and Sour Pork

Ingredients


600g Pork Fillet (cut in pieces and hammered flat)                           6 Spring Onions
For the Batter                                                                                   1 Large Onion
1tbs Cornflour                                                                                    2 Chillies
1 Egg                                                                                                  2 Tomatoes
1tsp Bicarbonate of Soda                                                                   1 Cucumber
1tsp Salt                                                                                              1tbs Oil

2tbs Water

For the Sauce

Pinch of Salt
1tsp Sesame Oil
5tbs Sugar
4tbs Tomato Sauce
1tbs Worcester Sauce
1tbs Chilli Sauce
3tbs Vinegar
300ml Water
2tbs Cornflour

Method

Sauce

  • Put all the ingredients for sauce in a pan and bring to the boil.
  • Add 2tbs cornflour to 3tbs cold water and mix well.
  • Add the cornflour mixture to the sauce and keep stirring. Once the sauce has thickened remove from the heat and put to one side.

Batter

  • Combine the batter ingredients and mix well.

Pork

  • Cut the pork fillet into slices and hammer flat.
  • Cut the flat pork into bite sized pieces and place in a single layer in a flat dish.
  • Pour the batter over the pork, mix well and leave for at least an hour, longer if you can.
  • After an hour (or more) fry the pork pieces in their batter coating.

Vegetables

  • Chop and fry all the vegetables together apart from the tomatoes and cucumber.
  • Chop the tomatoes and cucumber. They can be added raw to the sauce at the end or served on the table for guests to help themselves. I normally add them to the sauce just before serving.

Combine the Elements

  • When the pork is cooked, combine the sauce, fried vegetables and pork. Add the tomatoes and cucumber. Make sure everything is warmed through and serve.
 Serve the Sweet and Sour Pork with your favourite rice dish, or whatever you fancy with it.

9 O'Clock Toast

James Ross, Mojito in Hand! We don't have a 9 O'Clock Toast in my Mother Lodge. It used to hugely irritate my predecessor as Provincial Secretary when we gave the Toast "Absent Brethren" at the end of the Tyler's Toast 😉. During the current crisis, the 9 O'Clock Toast to "Absent Brethren" has taken on a huge significance to the whole organisation, especially on a Saturday Evening. I was delighted to be asked to propose the Toast at the Saint Padarn Quiz-Olation on Thursday 21st May 2020. Here's a nice little toast I adapted from something I found on the internet. Nine O'Clock Toast At nine o'clock we greet you - no matter where we stand We may be merely out of town, or in some far off land With melting hearts and brim-full eyes we'll steal a moment's leisure To call our distant greeting "Brother may I have the pleasure?" For we are bound together by a great eternal link To drink from that Masonic cup ...

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk - World Leader and Freemason

Statue of Ataturk on the Main Square in Marmaris I was fortunate enough to go on holiday to Turkey last year. We went to Marmaris on the Turkish Riviera. It's a lovely place for a holiday and very relaxing. So relaxing that I actually found time to learn some ritual. Something I've always said I was going to do on holiday, but never actually achieved. I'm not an expert on Turkish history, but I had heard of Kemal Atatürk. I became a lot more interested in him when I came across this statue of him on the main square. When I looked into his life to find out what prompted the statue, I discovered that he is an inspiration to us all. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Born: Thursday, 19 May 1881 Died: Thursday, 10 November 1938 Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a politician, military leader, and Freemason who established equal civil and voting rights for men and women in Turkey. ...

Day 2

Well what funny times we find ourselves in. I've gone from being really busy, travelling here, there and everywhere, to having a clear diary. The only things left to do are from my wife's "wish list" and I'm running out of excuses fast! With Freemasonry suspended, my inbox is pretty empty, well when I say pretty empty, I mean completely empty. We've done our best to keep the West Wales website up to date with the latest Government Guidance, but I am sure that we're all sitting at home watching the television, so no one is short of guidance, quite the reverse. All we have to do is make sure we follow it and keep our fingers crossed that the situation improves. We haven't made any firm decisions about when and where to reschedule the events which we have had to postpone. I think the time for that will be when the situation is a bit clearer. If you're one of the lucky ones who has received an appointment or promotion in Provincial Grand Lodge...
