Sweet and sour pork loin is a delicious dish with a crispy exterior, tender interior, and a sweet and tangy flavor. Here is a simple recipe:
Prepare 500 grams of pork loin and cut it into evenly sized small pieces. Gently tenderize the meat with the back of a knife, then marinate it with salt and pepper for a while.
In a bowl, mix an appropriate amount of vinegar, white sugar, soy sauce, and cooking wine to make a seasoning sauce. In another bowl, add an appropriate amount of starch and evenly coat the marinated pork loin pieces with a layer of starch.
Pour enough cooking oil into a pan and heat it to about 70% hot. Fry the coated pork loin pieces in the hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy. Then remove them from the oil and drain.
In another pan, heat a small amount of oil and pour in the pre-mixed sweet and sour sauce. Heat it over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, then add an appropriate amount of ketchup and tomato sauce. Stir well to combine.
Add the fried pork loin pieces to the pan and stir-fry them evenly, ensuring that each piece is coated with the sweet and sour sauce. Continue to cook over medium-low heat for a while, allowing the meat to absorb the flavors of the sweet and sour sauce.
Finally, if desired, add an appropriate amount of starch water to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. Stir-fry evenly, then remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish.
