Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When searing the meat, moisture will first come out, but continued stirring will cause fat to release and the meat to crisp up—cook until golden brown for best results.
  • The remaining starch in the pan naturally thickens the sauce, so don’t clean the pan—use it as-is for better texture.
  • The combination of tonkatsu sauce and ketchup easily recreates the comforting, nostalgic taste of traditional sweet and sour pork.

Recommended for

  • People who want crispy sweet and sour pork without the trouble of frying or battering.
  • Those looking to quickly prepare a beer snack or late-night meal at home.
  • Anyone wanting to recreate the classic sweet and sour taste using minimal sauce ingredients.
