The pork must contain both fat and lean meat; a slightly higher fat content yields a better texture. You must use tomato paste, not the ketchup used for French fries. The purpose of the tomato paste is to add color; using ketchup makes the flavor difficult to control. The taste of this dish should be sweet and savory with a slight hint of sourness; if you add too much vinegar, it will turn into sweet and sour pork.
