Goan-style sweet and sour pork belly
Sweet and Sour, in the Goan Chinese tradition, is a sticky pork belly dish balanced with vinegar, soy, and gentle spice. Shaped by Goan cooks working in Calcutta kitchens, it draws from Indo-Chinese techniques but remains firmly Goan in spirit, with pork at its centre. Rarely found in restaurants, it appears mainly at weddings and celebrations—carried back to Goa through cooks, not commerce.
