Air fryer sweet and sour pork recipe | 咕噜肉 | Chinese takeout

Perhaps the most popular Chinese dish worldwide is sweet and sour pork. Its bold flavor is easily embraced by the food culture of most countries and loved by people of all ages. It is also easy to prepare, as it only involves deep-frying and doused in a sweet and sour sauce.
However, deep frying may not be the best option for home cooking, as it requires a lot of oil and is considered unhealthy. In this video, I will attempt to replace deep frying with air frying. The result is nearly identical, although the pork may not be as crispy. Furthermore, using an air fryer cuts down on the oil you need, so it’s a healthier choice and way easier to clean up without all that extra oil.
Note: (the temperature used in this recipe)
The air fryer I have at home (Toros brand) only has an upper element and works more like a broiler. Therefore, it needs a higher temperature (240 degrees Celcius) to operate. However, this setting is specific to my air fryer. Other models may require different temperatures and timing.
