Braised Pork in Sweet and Sour Sauce

This succulent Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin is a restaurant-quality dish you can easily make at home! Tender pieces of pork are marinated with egg white, starch, and white wine for extra juiciness, then lightly fried to perfection. The magic happens with the irresistible homemade sauce—a tangy-sweet blend of tomato sauce, sugar, vinegar, and oyster sauce, enhanced by aromatic scallions, ginger, and garlic. Quick stir-frying locks in the flavors, while a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds adds a nutty finish. Perfectly balanced between crispy and tender, this dish delivers a burst of flavor in every bite. Ideal for weeknight dinners or impressing guests, this recipe guarantees tender, flavorful pork coated in a glossy, finger-licking sauce. Try it once, and it’ll become a family favorite!
