About Korean sweet sour pork

Korean Sweet Sour Pork, known as "Tangsuyuk," is a beloved dish in Korean-Chinese cuisine, combining crispy fried pork with a sweet-and-sour glaze. The pork is typically coated in a thin batter and deep-fried to golden perfection before being tossed in a vibrant sauce made of sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and sometimes fresh fruit or vegetables like pineapple, carrots, and bell peppers. While succulent and satisfying, its nutritional balance can vary. The dish is a good source of protein from the pork and vitamins from the added vegetables. However, it is relatively high in calories and fat due to the frying process and sugary sauce. Opting for lean cuts of meat and minimizing frying or sugar content can make it healthier while preserving its signature flavor. As a flavorful fusion dish, its delightful mix of textures and flavors makes it an enduring favorite across generations.
