I actually like to eat sweet and sour pork, but I don't want to deep-fry it. So I use air fryer to air fry it instead. It is much easier and healthier. I also improved the sauce by using tamarind sauce. It tastes definitely natural and smooth.
The fruity scent is very appetizing 🤩 , you will know how good it is after you try it
