Recipe Tips

  • The soy sauce provides plenty of salt for this dish, so you should not need to add any extra apart from the seasoning on the pork.
  • If you need the sweet and sour pork faster than the six hours, you can turn the slow cooker up to the high setting. It will take roughly two to four hours.
