Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe (Wu Lo Yuk, Ku Lu Jou)

Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe (Wu Lo Yuk, Ku Lu Jou) 

I like Chinese food, but I like to stay away from the sugar as much as I can, but unfortunately this Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe doesn’t meet that standard. Intra family pressure kind of pushed me toward this recipe. They wanted sweet and sour pork on the menu, and sweet and sour port is what I prepared.

This is a simple recipe with not a lot of prep time, but you do have to allow at least an hour to marinade the cubed pork. The amounts of soy sauce in this recipe are very small, but don’t let that fool you. Follow the recipe and it will come out perfect. If you do want to cut down on the sugar, I think you could use Splenda in place of the sugar.

If you like sweet and sour, give this Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe is excellent.
