Tips:
- To achieve the perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors, use a combination of brown sugar, vinegar, and ketchup. Adjust the amounts of each ingredient to suit your taste preferences.
- Use cornstarch to thicken the sauce. This will give it a glossy, rich texture. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- For a crispy coating on your pork or chicken, double-coat it in flour and egg before frying. This will help the coating adhere and prevent the meat from becoming soggy.
- To make the dish more visually appealing, garnish it with fresh pineapple, bell peppers, and scallions.
- Serve the sweet and sour pork or chicken with steamed rice or noodles. These dishes are also great served with a side of egg rolls or spring rolls.
