Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork Chops

This crispy and tangy Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin is a crowd-pleasing dish that combines tender meat with a vibrant, glossy sauce. Thin strips of pork are marinated in egg white, cornstarch, and cooking wine for a velvety texture, then fried until golden and crispy. The magic happens when ginger, garlic, and tomato sauce are stir-fried until fragrant, creating a rich base. A sweet and tangy sauce made with sugar and vinegar simmers to perfection, thickened to coat each pork strip beautifully. A final drizzle of oil enhances the sauce’s shine, while sesame seeds and fresh scallions add a nutty crunch and pop of color. Perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, this dish delivers crispy, juicy bites with every forkful—ideal served over steamed rice for a satisfying meal. Quick to make yet restaurant-quality, it’s a must-try for lovers of bold, flavorful Chinese cuisine!
