The Chinese name for this dish is Guo Bao Rou which is so famous that it can be the representative of Northeastern dishes. The ingredients used are relatively simple in meat dishes. The point is to cook, do you have the ability to fry the meat slices so that the outside is very crispy and the inside is tender.
If you go to restaurants in the Northeast area of China, this dish is on almost every menu. As a dish to test the skill of chefs in the Northeast of China, the success of this dish depends on the skill and experience of the chef. The sweet and sour sauce should also be adjusted just right. There are basically two types, some with tomato sauce, and some without, all of which are equally delicious.
What I want to say is that I love this dish so much. Pork with a crispy skin, dipped in sweet and sour sauce, you can’t help but eat it piece by piece. If you haven’t tried it, do try it, you won’t be disappointed.
