Sweet and Sour Pork/Chicken image

This is one of the most popular dish on our menu...right up there with General Tso's. The sauce in our version is not super sweet so adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.

My chicken turned out a little dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.
