Recipes Tips:

If you want to make this recipe healthier, you can use lean pork tenderloin instead of fatty cuts of pork. You can also use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce the amount of brown sugar in the recipe. Another tip is to cook the pork in an air fryer instead of deep-frying it in oil. This will make the pork crispy without adding too much oil to the dish.

For a vegetarian version of this dish, you can substitute the pork with tofu or tempeh. You can also add some vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or snow peas to the dish to make it more nutritious.

When cooking with pork, it is important to cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the pork.
