Oldest favorite recipe

What's your oldest favorite recipe? Mine is Hawaiian Pork which I made for dinner last night. The recipe is written on an old, soy-sauce stained index card in my 30-year old recipe box where only the oldest recipes reside. I can't remember where I originally got the recipe but I think maybe it was from the long-defunct St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the daily morning newspaper we took at home in my childhood. I first cooked this in college. My cooking skills were extremely limited and I thought the dish was yummy but very time-consuming. It takes three pots to make it: one to cook the rice, one to cook the sauce, and one to cook the pork/pineapple/peppers. Several years ago, my kids declared this one of their favorite recipes and wondered why I didn't make it more often. I still thouhgt of it as a difficult and messy process. Now, though, it doesn't seem any more difficult or messy than many of the things I cook on a regular basis. I still don't fix it more often, though. Tonight as I made the dish for the first time in six months, I marveled again at how easy it now seems. What a difference thirty years of cooking practice makes!

Hawaiian Pork

Cooked white or brown rice
1 pound pork cut in 1 inch cubes (I usually use pork steaks but pork chops or the end of a pork roast works well, too)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (the original recipe says "fat" can you believe it?)
1 egg
2 Tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 diced green or red pepper (the originally recipe calls for 3 green peppers. I've never used that many but if you are cooking for a crowd it would certainly stretch it.)
small can pineapple chunks (reserve juice)

Sauce:
1/2 cup pineapple juice (reserved from above)
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 and 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
2 and 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

Cook 4-6 servings of rice. Beat egg and stir in flour, salt and pepper. Coat pork cubes thoroughly. Heat oil in skillet and cook pork cubes, stirring until all sides are browned. Cover skillet and turn to low heat. Continue cooking about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together sauce ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and corn starch turns clear. Set aside. Add diced green pepper and pineapple to pork in skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Mix in sauce and cook another minute or two. Serve pork over cooked rice.
