Dongbei Guo Bao Rou (锅包肉 — Crispy Sweet Sour Pork)
Harbin, Heilongjiang Province — early 20th century Russian diplomatic influence
Dongbei version of sweet and sour pork — originally created for Russian diplomats in Harbin in the early 20th century. Thinly sliced pork loin coated in potato starch only (no batter), double-fried until shatteringly crisp, then tossed in a sauce of rice vinegar, sugar, and minimal soy. The sauce coating is thin and tangy, not the thick red sauce of Cantonese sweet and sour.
