FAQs
1. Can I use dried mushrooms instead of fresh ones?
Yes! Soak dried mushrooms in warm water for 20-30 minutes before using. Add the soaking liquid to the sauce for an enhanced flavor.

2. What if I don’t have sour cream?
You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or heavy cream for a similar creamy texture.

3. Can I freeze this dish?
While the pork and sauce freeze well, the sour cream may separate upon thawing. If planning to freeze, omit the sour cream and add it freshly when reheating.

4. Is it okay to use different pickled vegetables?
Absolutely! Pickled carrots or even sauerkraut can be great substitutes if cucumbers aren’t available.
