Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, onion, red bell pepper, and sweet and sour sauce. Add the pork pieces to the bowl and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
2
Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the pork pieces from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Fry the pork pieces until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
3
In a separate pan, heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli, carrots, and cherry tomatoes, and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
To assemble the dish, place a portion of the fried pork pieces on a plate, followed by a spoonful of the vegetable mixture. Drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the top, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
