1、 Golden ratio (most universal, suitable for popular taste)
White sugar: rice vinegar=1.2:1 (weight ratio)
Example: 30g of white sugar and 25g of rice vinegar are the standard sweet and sour ratio for 300g of pork tenderloin. The sweet and sour taste is gentle and not overwhelming, and the texture is most harmonious when it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Characteristics: Sweet taste comes first, followed by sour taste, not greasy or lacking, acceptable to both elderly and children, and is the most commonly used ratio in restaurants.
2、 Northeast authentic proportion (slightly sour to relieve greasiness, more authentic)
White sugar: rice vinegar=1:1 (weight ratio)
Example: 30g of white sugar+30g of rice vinegar, with a more prominent sour taste, neutralizes the greasy feeling of deep frying, which is the traditional ratio of Northeastern local pan fried pork, making it more refreshing to eat.
Features: The sour and sweet flavors are evenly matched, with a strong sour aroma. Paired with a crispy outer skin, it has a full anti greasy effect and is suitable for people who enjoy heavy sour and sweet flavors.
3、 Sweet taste ratio (suitable for people who do not like sourness)
White sugar: rice vinegar=1.5:1 (weight ratio)
Example: 30g white sugar+20g rice vinegar, with a richer sweetness and a softer acidity, suitable for children, sweet eaters, or when paired with light ingredients.
Characteristics: Sweet and fragrant as the main flavor, sour taste only used for freshness enhancement, warm and mellow taste, not easily greasy.
4、 Proportion adjustment tips
Selection of Vinegar: Priority should be given to using rice vinegar/fragrant vinegar (with mild acidity). If using aged vinegar (with high acidity), reduce the amount of vinegar by 10% -20% to avoid excessive acidity.
Auxiliary seasoning: Add 5-10ml of light soy sauce (for freshness) and 1g of salt (for sweetness and flavor enhancement), maintaining the same sour sweet ratio and creating a more layered taste.
Soup thickness: Add a small amount of water (about 10-15ml) to the bowl of sauce, simmer over low heat until slightly coated with a spoon. When wrapping the sauce, the sour and sweet flavors will be more evenly distributed, without being too thick or too light.
