Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork, Guobaorou - How to Make Authentic Northeastern Guo Bao Rou (锅包肉)

Guobaorou! It's a much beloved northeastern style crispy sweet and sour pork that's coated in a cornstarch batter and deep-fried twice for a wonderful (dare I say 'concussive?') crunch.

The ingredients used in this recipe are really nothing fancy. Pork loin with a standard seasoning marinade (salt, white pepper, liaojiu/Shaoxing wine) and coated in a really cool cornstarch mixture that basically like the 'oobleck' mixture you might've played with in science class. It's fried with garlic, and topped with a syrup that's made from white vinegar and sugar. There's a lot of technique though, so be sure to check out the full recipe over on reddit before making it!
