Sweet and Sour Pork (Gu Lou Yok) is typically a Cantonese dish\u00a0which is served in most Chinese restaurants as well as Zi Char stalls or Chap Chai\u00a0Pung (Economical Rice) stalls.\u00a0There is nothing more satisfying\u00a0than eating home cooked sweet and sour pork where\u00a0you can actually taste the pork meat which is juicy and succulent.<\/p>\n

The few times that I have ordered sweet and sour pork\u00a0when eating out, what was served to me was mostly\u00a0lumps of hard dry crust without much substance, coated with sweet and sour\u00a0sauce to mask the lack of flavour and substance, a far cry from the dish that I love and grew up eating. So, I would highly recommend\u00a0that you DIY this dish at home and I am confident that\u00a0all your effort and time taken\u00a0into preparation\u00a0of this yummy Sweet and Sour Pork recipe\u00a0will not\u00a0go to waste.<\/p>\n
