Braised Pork in Brown Sauce

This Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender, golden-fried pork slices with a perfectly balanced sweet and tangy sauce. Thinly sliced pork is marinated with a hint of salt and cooking wine, then coated in cornstarch for an ultra-crispy texture when double-fried to perfection. The magic lies in the homemade sauce—a delightful blend of sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, scallions, and ginger—simmered until thick and glossy. Each bite delivers a satisfying crunch followed by a burst of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Quick to prepare yet impressive in taste, this dish is ideal for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Adjust the sweetness and tang to your liking for a personalized touch. Serve hot for the ultimate crispy experience!
