It’s good, but I feel like the vinegar overpowered the flavors. Next time, I might use less vinegar. Fewer tangy taste.
Delish! Just like takeout, I love it! 🍚🍖
So yummyy! Next time I’ll add more pineapple for sure!
Sweet sauce and pork. Yeah! But I don’t think it’s pouring vinegar like that. Is it? Me think bit less could do!
I absolutely loved this recipe! The sweetness of the pineapple and the savory pork went so well together. Definitely a keeper! 🍍
This was AMAZING! My family loved it. Will definitely make again!
So glad you loved it! It’s a family favorite for sure. What do you serve it with?
Tasty! My kids loved it, and that’s hard to do! I used some leftover chicken instead of pork because I didn’t have pork. Still great!
This recipe takes too long for my taste. Why can’t they make it quicker? Also, do I really need ketchup?? Seems weird.
I dunno, mine came out all mushy… maybe I overcooked it? 🤔
Quick and easy recipe! I made it with chicken instead.
Sweet and sour pork? More like sweet but there’s not enough sour. 😂
The ingredients don’t match the instructions, had to wing it! 😩
