Sweet-and-Sour Pork, made from cubes of boneless pork butt, has the additional contrast of a sauce that balances sweet with sour flavors. Unfortunately, most restaurants overthicken their sweet-and-sour sauce, make it too sweet, and color it an unnatural red. This true homemade version is much more subtle, not unlike the sauce for French duck à l’orange.
