This Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe is all that you need to make a good Sweet and Sour Pork dish. It is made-up of pork sliced into serving pieces that were marinated and dredged in flour or cornstarch and then deep-fried until golden and crisp.
The sweet and sour sauce is made from brown sugar, rice vinegar, and ketchup gives life to the dish. Vegetables such as bell pepper, carrots, and red onions are also used to add flavor and make this dish more exquisite. This Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe does not say something about the sauce, but we have it linked for your convenience.
I like this Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe because it is so straightforward. Aside from having that authentic taste, I find the texture really appealing. I’m sure that you will find this very simple and quick to make.
After completing this Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe, you can enjoy the result when you eat it with rice. Fried rice is perfect for this, but steamed Jasmine rice will do too. It is all up to you. Enjoy!
