Sweet and Sour Pork is an iconic Chinese recipe and classic Cantonese dish. Called "咕嚕肉" or "goo lou yok" in Cantonese dialect, this recipe is very pleasing to the palate because of the flavorsome sweet and sour sauce—the sweetness from sugar plus the tangy ketchup and sharp rice vinegar—with the crispy fried pork pieces. For the sauce, place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then fry the peppers until soften.
Steps to make Sweet and Sour Pork:
- Cut pork into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. Heat deep fat oil to 380f. Dredge pork in cornstarch and put into oil for about 2 minutes, drain.
- Just before cooking the vegetables, refry the pork @410f until lightly browned
- Mix sauce ingredients
- Put some oil in a wok and stir fry garlic until brown; remove
- Add green pepper and onions and stir fry until tender-crisp
- Add sauce mixture and stir until thickened

No matter where you go, sweet and sour pork is featured on almost every Chinese restaurant menu. Coated pieces of meat are deep fried until golden and crunchy, then tossed in a vibrant sauce that packs a balance of sweet and tart flavors.
