Cut the pork loin steaks into thin strips. Place the pork strips in a large bowl.

Add cornstarch to the bowl making sure all the pork strips are thoroughly coated. This will help to achieve the desired crispiness.

In a large wok, heat the sunflower oil over medium-high heat. There should be enough oil to fry the pork strips without crowding the pan. If required, cook the pork in batches.

Add the pork strips to the hot oil ensuring they do not stick together. Fry until they turn golden brown.

Once done, transfer the cooked pork and oil to a sieve placed over a large bowl to drain excess oil.

Remove all the oil from the wok and place it back on the heat. Pour in the vinegar. Note: boiling vinegar may produce a strong scent, ensure good ventilation.

Add the sugar and stir until it has fully dissolved.

Then, stir in the tomato ketchup to create your sweet and sour sauce.

Add the crispy pork back into the wok and mix it well with the sauce until all pieces are well-coated. Allow it to heat for a minute before serving.
