菜品故事

Known in Cantonese as gūlū yuhk, this dish developed in Guangdong's port cities, where cooks translated local sweet-sour flavor traditions for international diners. The best versions are not buried in sauce: the pork stays crisp, the glaze is lively rather than candy-sweet, and fruit or bell pepper brings freshness. It became one of the world's most recognizable Cantonese dishes.

制作步骤

按普通家庭厨房的锅具和火力整理。

1
Season the pork
Cut the pork into 2.5 cm pieces. Season with soy sauce and a pinch of salt, then rest for 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables and glaze.
2
Coat for a light crust
Toss the pork with cornstarch until each piece is dry and evenly coated. Shake off loose starch so it does not burn in the oil.
3
Fry in small batches
Heat 5 cm of oil in a heavy pot to 180°C or 350°F. Fry without crowding for 3 to 4 minutes, then drain on a rack to preserve the crust.
4
Cook the glaze
In a wide skillet, simmer vinegar, ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons water until glossy. Add bell pepper and pineapple for 1 minute.
5
Toss and serve
Add the hot pork and toss only until every piece is lightly coated. Transfer immediately so the crust stays crisp.
