Agrodolce – from the Italian words for sour and sweet. Get your agrodolce right and whatever you cook will taste exceptional.
Take dinner in the Yaffle household tonight - faced with pork steaks and a beautiful savoy cabbage I plumped for them stir fried with noodles. The pork was sliced and mixed with Yaffle House Plum+Ginger vinegar, a splash of sesame oil, some light soy sauce and left for about 20 minutes before cooking.
The vinegar added a perfectly balanced level of sweet and sour, caramelised beautifully on the pork and a little more added at the end made the simplest sauce. Sorry there is no picture of the actual dish, we demolished it in about 5 minutes flat!
