47. Sweet & Sour Pork

Sweet & Sour Pork, an iconic dish on the menu at Brothers Chinese Food, is a delightful balance of tangy and sweet. Tender morsels of pork are first lightly battered and then deep-fried to a perfect golden hue. The crispy bits are subsequently tossed in a vibrant blend of vinegar, sugar, and a medley of colorful bell peppers, onions, and pineapple, resulting in a dish that is both deliciously meaty and refreshingly fruity in taste.

Fun Fact: Sweet & Sour Pork is originally a classic Cantonese dish called “gu lao rou” in Mandarin. The traditional color of the sauce comes from using hawthorn candy, and its rich, tart flavor provides a superb contrast to the savory pork, which is why it is such a popular dish worldwide.
