Anyone who loves Chinese cooking will definitely like Sweet and Sour Pork aka 咕老肉!

This all time favourite is a cult classic. Crispy fried pork pieces, pineapple cubes, and the peppers… yum! The key to mastering the sauce is the right balance between sweet AND sour, so that it pairs itself really well with the meat.

It’s a really straightforward dish to make too, and best eaten right after cooking. So get your tummy ready and try out this dish!
