Suisi

Suisi refers to a traditional Chinese dish, often translated as "sweet and sour pork." While the most common preparation features pork, variations can include other meats like chicken or fish. The defining characteristic of suisi is its distinctive sweet and sour sauce, which is typically made with ingredients such as vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce. The sauce is usually thickened and coats the main protein, which is often lightly battered and fried to achieve a crispy exterior before being mixed with the sauce. Vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and pineapple are frequently incorporated into the dish, adding color, texture, and complementary flavors. Suisi is a popular staple in many Chinese restaurants worldwide and is enjoyed for its balance of savory, sweet, and tangy notes. The specific flavor profile and ingredients can vary significantly depending on regional Chinese cuisines and individual recipes.
