SWEET AND SOUR PORK
Sweet and Sour Pork is one of many sweet and sour sauce based dishes in asia. You can use this sauce to many variety of meat especially for fish and seafoods.
I like to prepare this base sauce as it’s really goes along with any type of meat and is also very easy to prepare. The sweet and sour base sauce can be made ahead of time and store in a sealed container placed in the refrigerator to lessen the prep time. This sauce nowadays are also made available prepacked in a jar in most of the supermarket here and abroad, so all you have to do is to taste each one of them and choose the one that suits your taste preference, basically. However, I believe that this is very straight forward to make and you’ll save more time and money if you choose to make it yourself.
