A simplified version of the classic Northeast Chinese dish, featuring tender pork in a sweet and sour sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients. Slice the pork tenderloin into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Marinate the pork with a pinch of salt, chicken powder, and white pepper powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix potato starch with water to create a slurry for thickening.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a wok to 180°C. Add the pork cubes and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.

  5. 5

    Remove the pork and set aside. In the same wok, stir-fry the bell pepper and carrot slices briefly and remove.

  6. 6

    In a clean wok, sauté minced green onion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. Add light soy sauce and the sweet and sour sauce mixture (white vinegar and sugar).

  7. 7

    Bring the sauce to a boil and thicken with the potato starch slurry.

  8. 8

    Add the fried pork and vegetables back into the wok. Toss everything quickly to coat with the sauce.

    Serve hot and enjoy the sweet and sour flavors.
