Sweet and Sour Pork with Pineapple

Bōluó Gūlūròu (Sweet and Sour Pork with Pineapple) is one of the most iconic Cantonese dishes worldwide. Cubes of pork are battered and deep-fried until golden, then tossed in a glossy sweet-and-sour sauce with pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and cherries. The contrast of crispy pork and tangy fruit sauce is irresistible.
