The perfect way to make sweet and sour tenderloin, remember 2 keys, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour and crispy, especially with rice
Sweet and sour tenderloin is a home-cooked dish that is known for its charred, sweet, sour and crispy texture. Sweet and sour tenderloin is a popular side dish for both large and small banquets, and it is often completely sold out in a short period of time. However, making the perfect sweet and sour tenderloin is not easy, and there are two key points to master: the crispy tenderloin and the sweet and sour sauce to the taste. Next, I will share some experiences and tips about sweet and sour tenderloin, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
Choose the right pork
One of the keys to sweet and sour tenderloin is to choose the right meat. In general, pork tenderloin is the most common, but you can also try beef tenderloin or sheep tenderloin. If you don't have tenderloin, you can also choose lean meat, but don't choose pure fat or pork belly to ensure a balance of texture and taste.
Marinate and batter
Before preparing the tenderloin, wash the tenderloin and cut it into thick strips, and put it in clean water to make it more tender. Add salt, light soy sauce and cooking wine to the washed tenderloin and stir well with your hands to absorb the flavor. Then add an egg and a spoonful of starch and continue to stir until the strips are covered in a white paste. Finally, add another spoonful of cooking oil and stir evenly to allow the meat strips to fully absorb the flavor. After marinating and battering, the tenderloin becomes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Mix sweet and sour sauce to taste
It is often the misconception that you only need to add vinegar to white sugar to make sweet and sour sauce, but this is not so simple. I'll share a way to make sweet and sour sauce without going wrong: take one spoonful of starch, two spoonfuls of balsamic vinegar, three spoons of sugar, four spoons of tomato sauce and five spoons of water, put all the ingredients in a bowl, stir well with chopsticks, and set aside. This method of preparation can ensure that the sweet and sour sauce is bright red in color, sweet and sour in taste, and very delicious.
Proper frying process
Before frying, you need to pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pan and heat it to a state of 60% heat, and you can use chopsticks to insert it into the oil to test the oil temperature. When there are many small bubbles in the chopsticks inserted into the oil, it means that the oil temperature has been reached. Put the marinated strips of meat one by one in hot oil and fry them over medium-low heat until they float and turn slightly yellow. Then, turn up the heat again to raise the temperature of the oil to 80% hot, and put the fried tenderloin in the re-frying for about 10 seconds until golden brown, then you can remove it. Meanwhile, heat oil in another pan, pour in the prepared sweet and sour sauce, and sauté over low heat until fragrant. When the sweet and sour sauce becomes sticky, put the fried tenderloin in the pan and stir-fry quickly for about 1 minute so that the tenderloin is evenly coated with sweet and sour sauce. Finally, sprinkle with cooked white sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and it is ready to serve.
A summary of some tips
1. In order to achieve the crispy effect, remember to marinate and hang the batter. Compared to other methods, it is easier to marinate and hang at the same time, and the taste is more outstanding.
2. Using sweet potato starch can make the sweet and sour tenderloin more crispy, if you don't have sweet potato starch, you can choose potato starch or cornstarch as an alternative, but the taste may be slightly different. If starch is not available, flour can also be used instead, but it should be noted that the concentration of flour is not as good as starch.
3. In order to create a sweet and sour sauce with a better taste and taste, it is not enough to use sugar and vinegar. According to the ratio I recommend, the sweet and sour sauce will be more attractive in color and more sweet and sour.
In short, making a sweet and sour tenderloin requires mastering the right steps and key points. Choosing the right meat, marinating and battering, and preparing a flavorful sweet and sour sauce, coupled with the correct frying technique, can make the sweet and sour loin charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour and crispy, and become a delicious dish to accompany rice.

Cooking skills are an important way to improve your cooking skills, here are some practical cooking tips:
- Heat the pan with cold oil: When stir-frying, heat the pan first, then pour in the cold oil, and wait until the oil temperature reaches 80% hot before adding the ingredients. This will prevent the ingredients from sticking to the pan while keeping them tender.
- Control the heat: When stir-frying vegetables, you should use high heat to stir-fry them vigorously, and the time should not be too long, so as to keep the vegetables fresh and tender. Do not burn hard-to-cook ingredients to avoid burning.
- When to add salt: When stir-frying vegetables, if the ingredients are easy to get out of the water, you can choose to add salt later, because these ingredients are easy to absorb the flavor.
- Prevent the discoloration of ingredients: It is not advisable to add cold water when stir-frying green vegetables, as cold water will make the green vegetables old and unpalatable, while the green vegetables stir-fried with boiling water are fresh and tender. When stir-frying lotus root slices or lotus root shreds, add some water while stir-frying to prevent the lotus root from turning black.
- Seasoning techniques: Learn proper seasoning techniques, such as adding a tablespoon of warm water to stirring eggs when scrambling eggs, which can make the eggs soft and delicious.
- Blanching to remove the fishy smell: When cooking meat dishes, blanching the water first and then cold the pot can easily remove the fishy smell.
- Choice of tools: Different cooking methods require different tools, for example, it is recommended to use a casserole with good heat retention for soup or stew, while a cast iron pot or wrought iron pot is suitable for stir-frying.
- Take notes: Good cooks take notes about the seasonings and heat of each cooking so that they can continuously improve.
- Timing of the pot: If the pot is covered tightly at the beginning, it will cause the vegetables to fade and turn yellow.
- Blanch to remove blood: Before making soup, you need to blanch the meat with boiling water, which can remove the blood and some fat, and avoid the soup being too greasy.
By mastering these cooking skills, even novice chefs will be able to gradually improve their cooking skills and create delicious meals.
How to correctly judge the temperature of the pan to achieve the best effect of hot pan cold oil?
To achieve the best effect of hot pan cold oil, you first need to correctly judge the temperature of the pan. According to the evidence, the principle of hot pan cold oil is to heat the pan to a certain temperature, so that the small holes on the metal surface are opened, so that the oil can penetrate to form an oil film, and the effect of non-stick is achieved. Normally, the temperature of the pot should reach around 200 degrees.
In order to tell if the pot has reached this temperature, the following methods can be used:
- Observation method: After heating the pan, the oil temperature can be judged by observing the surface of the pan. When the pan starts to smoke, the oil temperature is high enough. In addition, you can also observe whether the oil in the pan starts to ripple, which is also a sign of the moderate oil temperature.
- Water drop method: During the heating process of the pot, a drop of water can be dropped into the bottom of the pot. If the water droplets evaporate quickly, the temperature of the pot is high enough. However, it is important to note that this method may cause damage to coated or ceramic pots, so it is not recommended to use it on pots made of these materials.
- Wooden chopsticks method: Insert a dry wooden chopsticks into the pot, if there are small bubbles around the chopsticks, it means that the oil temperature is moderate.
In addition, according to the cooking needs, the oil temperature should be controlled between 150°C~180°C. After reaching this temperature range, cold oil is poured into the stir-fry, which can effectively prevent the pan from sticking.
What is the best time and method to add salt to stir-fry?
The best time and method to add salt to a stir-fry depends on the ingredients used and the cooking method. Based on the search results, the following points can be summarized:
- Put salt at the end of cooking: for dishes such as fried pork slices, back to the pot, fried cabbage, fried garlic sprouts, fried celery, etc., put the dishes in the pot when the oil temperature is high in the hot pot and the hot pan is high, and it is better to put the sound of "pop" when the dishes are cooked, and it is suitable to put an appropriate amount of salt when stir-frying thoroughly, so that the fried dishes are tender and not old, and the nutrient loss is less.
- Put salt in the middle of heating: For hard vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower, beans, etc., as well as chicken, duck, fish, meat dishes, because these ingredients are not easy to cook and not easy to fry water, you need to add an appropriate amount of salt to stir-fry early, so that the ingredients can be flavored in advance and more delicious.
- Put salt in the process of stir-frying: Under normal circumstances, you should put a little salt in advance when stir-frying meat dishes, the purpose is to both season and make the meat fresher. If you don't feel enough salt before cooking, you can add a little more.
- Put salt in the early morning for hard vegetables: For hard vegetables such as carrots, white radish, potatoes, pumpkin, celery, king oyster mushrooms, garlic sprouts, etc., you can add salt early when stir-frying, that is, you can add salt after frying soft, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes to get out of the pot.
- Add salt to the stew and the second half of the boiled meat: It is best to add salt to the stew and boiled meat 10 minutes before the pan to make the meat fresher.
- Salt in the second half of the stir-fry: A study by Tongji University found that adding salt early in the stir-fry will cause a higher loss of vitamin C in vegetables than in the late salt, because adding salt before stir-frying will allow the ingredients to take away vitamin C and other water-soluble vitamins.
- Add salt to the final stage of stir-frying: When stir-frying, salt should be added at the last stage to preserve the flavor, character, and nutrition of the dish.
The best time and method to add salt to a stir-fry varies depending on the ingredients and how they are cooked. For hard vegetables and meats, it is recommended to add salt during cooking or near completion;
How to prevent the ingredients from changing color when stir-frying vegetables, and what are the specific tips and methods?
To prevent the ingredients from changing color when stir-frying vegetables, you can take the following specific tips and methods:
- Soak in salted water: Before sautéing the greens, you can soak the greens in salted water for about ten minutes. This creates a protective film that prevents oxalic acid from coming into contact with iron ions, which can prevent the greens from discoloring.
- Blanching treatment: Blanching is one of the key steps in stir-frying green vegetables. Blanching not only removes the odor from the greens, but also keeps them bright in color. Adding the right amount of salt and oil when blanching can make the greens more crisp and tender. The blanching time should not be too long, generally no more than 30 seconds.
- Shorten the cooking time: Stir-frying quickly or quickly sautéing can effectively preserve the color of the vegetables. Shortening the cooking time is an important measure to prevent the discoloration of green vegetables.
- Oxygen Isolation Treatment: Soak the cut vegetables in cold water to isolate them from the oxygen in the air, which can prevent the vegetables from changing color.
- Avoid stacking: Instead of stacking fried greens on top of each other, you can use chopsticks to pick out an open space in the center of the plate to dissipate heat faster and avoid discoloration due to high temperature.
What are the detailed steps and precautions for blanching and removing fish?
Blanching is a commonly used method in cooking, mainly used to remove blood and fishy smell from meat. Here are the detailed steps and precautions for blanching and removing the fish:
Steps:
- Pot under cold water: Put meat in cold water, not hot water. This allows the blood inside the meat to flow out slowly and prevent the blood from coagulating in the meat.
- Add seasonings: Add an appropriate amount of ginger, cooking wine, Sichuan pepper and other seasonings to the water, these seasonings can enhance the deodorization effect.
- Slow cooking: Slowly heat over a weak low heat to gradually increase the temperature of the water. During the process, impurities and blood inside the meat will slowly diffuse into the water.
- Skim off the foam: When foam appears on the surface of the water, skim off the foam in time, which can help reduce the fishy odor.
- Control time: The blanching time should not be too long, generally controlled at 7-8 minutes, because excessive blanching will make the meat old.
Notes:
- Pot under cold water: This is a critical step to ensure that the blood can flow out slowly.
- Seasoning selection: Add ginger slices, cooking wine and other seasonings in moderation, but not too much, so as not to mask the original flavor of the meat.
- Slow cooking over low heat: Avoid boiling quickly over high heat, as this will prevent the meat from getting old.
- Skimming off foam in time: Foam is one of the main sources of fishy odor, and skimming it in time can effectively reduce fishy odor.
- Control the blanching time: The blanching time should not be too long, generally controlled at 7-8 minutes, to avoid the meat becoming old.
- Change the water multiple times: Some meats need to be soaked in blood water in advance, and the water should be changed twice in the middle to ensure that the blood and smell are completely removed.
What is the effect of using different cooking tools on the taste and nutrition of food?
The use of different cooking tools has a significant impact on the taste and nutrition of food. First of all, the choice of cooking tools can affect the nutrient retention of food. For example, an open-flame steamer and microwave better retain vitamin C and polyphenols when cooking broccoli, while electric steamer, stir-frying, and boiling are secondary, and baking retains the least. In addition, tools such as nonstick pans, pressure cookers, and rice cookers are also recommended for preserving the nutrients and texture of food.
Different cooking methods (e.g. stir-frying, boiling, roasting, steaming, etc.) also have an important impact on the taste of food. For example, sautéing can give ingredients a crispy texture, while steaming retains the original flavor of the ingredients. These cooking techniques not only affect the texture and taste of food, but also directly affect its nutritional content by triggering chemical reactions that alter the structure and properties of the ingredients.
