Tips
- For the sauce, you can adjust the quantities of ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar to your liking, as it is not strictly measured.
- If you don't have white pepper, you can use black pepper, but it is not truly the same thing.
- You can eat the fried pork on its own with salt and pepper, as it is very good.
