Follow each step carefully for the perfect texture. 00:00 Intro 00:30 Step 1 – The Meat & Marinade Cut pork into strips. Marinate with salt, white pepper, egg, and starch. Let it rest so the flavor goes inside the meat. 01:25 Step 2 – The Signature Sweet & Sour Sauce Mix ketchup, sugar, vinegar, light soy sauce, and water. Stir well until smooth. This sauce gives the dish its classic balance of sweet and sour. 02:23 Step 3 – The First Fry (Setting the Shape) Heat oil. Fry the pork at medium heat.
