Dishes
Cherry PorkSweet and sour pork is a Chinese dish primarily made with pork, typically using pork tenderloin cut into cubes. After marinating, the meat is deep-fried until golden brown and then stir-fried with a sauce made from sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and other seasonings. The finished dish has a bright red color, tender meat, and a balanced sweet-and-sour flavor, resembling cherries in shape—hence its name.
