Tips for a good sweet and sour pork recipe in a airfryer
- The longer the pork marinates, the more flavor it will have when served
- Do not put all the meat in the air fryer basket and pile it up because it will not cook well (better in 2 batches and then all together)
- You can buy the sweet and sour sauce at the supermarket or follow the steps and make it homemade
- I put parchment paper in the air fryer basket so as not to spoil it as much.
- For the sauce you can use a small pot or a medium skillet
- Do not put the cornstarch directly into the pot because it can cause lumpsbetter dissolve it with a little water
- Sesame seeds are pure optional decoration
