My Sweet and Sour Pork recipe replace the usage of vinegar with ketchup, which removes the sourness that tasted artificial. On top of that, my sweet and sour recipe calls for the usage of pork belly, if done right, the pork belly would literally melt in your mouth!
Variation of Sweet and Sour Pork
There is plenty of Sweet and Sour variation – In Hunan, it is simply a mixture of sugar and light vinegar whereby in the eastern region of China, there is sweet and sour fruit and vegetable salad and also many parts of China actually used sweet and sour as a dipping. However, this dish rose to fame in Hong Kong by a renowned chef, Leung King, his well-known recipe – white rice vinegar, salt, Chinese brown candy, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and dark soy sauce.

Often I find lots of restaurants who serve this dish with their sauce too sharp and sometimes too dull probably due to the usage of cheap quality vinegar which totally breaks the balance of the flavors. Hence as a solution to that, without risking much with differing brands of vinegar I resolved to the acidity from fresh tomato and ketchup which I find very much appetizing and it works for me! Try it out, I believe it works for you too!

笔记
提示
- Double Frying allows the outer layer to be crispy while the inner retain the juiciness. The secret to double frying is to briefly fry the first time with high temperature so the outer layer is well coated and leave to rest and the resting period allow the temperature to balance out. Then the second frying will cook through the food and allow the outer layer to reach maximum crispiness!
- Usage ripped tomato instead of unripened tomato.

Hi! Thank you for sharing the receipe, it looks delicious. I will try it with cornstarch since i’d like to avoid wheat flour.
I just have one question: what is a “nos” egg? (it says originally “1 nos egg”). thanks in advance and greetings from Austria
Hey Bianca, yeah cornstarch would work too.
Nos is equal to pieces.
