The defining flavors of Koe Loe Yuk are the contrasting yet complementary tastes of sweet and sour, creating a balanced and appealing dish.
The 'sweet' component typically comes from sugar, honey, or fruit juices like pineapple. The 'sour' element is derived from vinegar (often rice vinegar), lemon juice, or tamarind. These are combined with a rich, savory flavor from the deep-fried pork itself, which is usually marinated in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic.

Crispy Pork
To ensure the pork remains crispy, use a double-frying technique. Fry once at a lower temperature to cook the pork through, then again at a higher temperature to achieve a golden-brown and crispy exterior. Lightly coat the pork in cornstarch or potato starch before frying.
Sauce Consistency
The sweet and sour sauce should be thick enough to coat the pork without being too gloppy. Adjust the amount of cornstarch slurry to achieve the desired consistency. Adding a small amount of ketchup can enhance the color and flavor of the sauce.
Vegetable Additions
Popular additions to the sweet and sour sauce include bell peppers, pineapple chunks, onions, and carrots. Briefly stir-fry these vegetables before adding the sauce to maintain their crispness.
