Sweet and Sour Pork

Sweet and sour pork

, also known as ancient meat, is a famous traditional dish in Guangdong. This dish began in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many foreigners in Guangzhou were very fond of Chinese food, especially sweet and sour spareribs, but they were not used to spitting bones.

Guangdong chefs make large meatballs from bony refined meat with seasoning and starch. They fry them in oil pan until they are crisp. They stick sweet and sour sauce on them. They are very popular with Chinese and foreign guests. Sweet and sour spareribs have a long history, and now they are called "ancient meat" after reform. Foreigners do not pronounce it correctly. They often call "ancient meat" Gulu meat. Because it is elastic when eating and has a rattle when chewing, these two terms coexist for a long time. This dish enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. The common one on the market is Gulu meat with canned pineapple.

History of dishes

In the Qing Dynasty, European and American people first came into contact with Guangdong in China, and naturally they first came into contact with Cantonese food. In addition, they loved sweet and sour taste, so Gulu meat was very popular with them. On the other hand, Cantonese were also the first Chinese to live in Europe and America, and opened Cantonese restaurants in the area, which made Gulu meat popular. At present, many restaurants in Chinatowns all over the world offer gourmet meat, usually with white rice or fried rice.

On the other hand, in restaurants, tea restaurants and fast food restaurants in Hong Kong, mutton is also a very common dish.

There are two legends about the name of Gulu meat. The first legend refers to the fact that the dish is cooked with sweet and sour juice, and its aroma is overflowing when serving, which makes people unable to help "Gulu Gulu" to swallow, hence the name. The second legend is that this dish has a long history, so it is called "ancient meat", and then the homonym is changed into "Gulu meat".
