Notes

1. Various cuts of pork will work for this recipe. Use anything from the neck, shoulder, or belly. Make sure the pieces are cut into a size that is going to quick quickly in the hot oil.
2. Be careful that the oil is not too hot as the crumb will burn.
3. Substitute chicken thigh fillet or firm fish for another simple sweet and sour.
4. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 1 month.
