Sweet & Sour Pork Or Beef With Vegetables

TANG-SU-YUK
탕수육

Tangsuyuk is another popular Chinese delicacy in Korea, which is more familiarly known to Westerners as sweet and sour pork/beef with vegetables. This dish is more of a crowd-pleaser, consisting of a pile of battered, crispy fried pork or beef strips in a sweet, tart apple & vinegar based sauce.

The dish is also laced with pickled snippets of cucumber, carrot, and sometimes cubed pineapples that offer a variety of color as well as taste. It is usually eaten as an appetizer, ample enough for a quartet of diners to share. When eating, the meat is usually dipped in soy sauce mixed with vinegar and crushed or powder red pepper flakes (gochugaru) which will add some spiciness to each bite.
