Braised Pork in Vinegar

Braised Pork in Vinegar

This delicious crispy fried lean meat recipe is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender meat with a golden, crunchy coating. Thinly sliced lean meat is marinated in a savory blend of soy sauce, salt, sugar, and vinegar, allowing the flavors to deeply penetrate for 30 minutes. The key to its irresistible texture is a generous coating of tapioca starch, which creates a crisp outer layer when fried to perfection. As the meat fries in hot oil, it forms a delightful golden-brown crust while staying juicy inside. The result is a perfectly balanced bite—savory, slightly tangy, and wonderfully crunchy. This simple yet flavorful dish is ideal as a snack, appetizer, or main course. The secret lies in the marination and the starch coating, ensuring each slice is packed with flavor and has that satisfying crispy bite. Quick to prepare and endlessly tasty, this fried lean meat recipe is sure to become a favorite!
