I don't like sweet and sour pork made with deep fried pork, so at some point I started using easy to make meatballs instead. I've also settled on this light soy sauce flavored sauce rather than the usual ketchup flavored one.

*Adjust the amount of meatballs you add to taste.
*By mixing the katakuriko with the flavoring ingredients beforehand, you can prevent lumps from forming in the sauce. Recipe by Akane
