About This Recipe

This crispy and tangy sweet and sour pork loin is a crowd-pleasing dish that’s easy to make at home! Tender strips of pork loin are marinated in white wine, pepper, and salt for extra flavor, then coated in a light, crispy batter made with eggs, starch, and flour. Double-fried to golden perfection, the pork stays juicy inside while turning irresistibly crunchy. The secret is in the homemade tomato sauce—a perfect balance of sweet and tangy with sugar, white vinegar, and tomato sauce, cooked until glossy and thick. Tossed in the vibrant sauce and finished with a sprinkle of toasted white sesame seeds, this dish delivers a satisfying crunch in every bite. Perfect served over steamed rice, this sweet and sour pork is a restaurant-quality meal made simple!
