How to Make Crispy Fried Pork Tenderloin

Crispy fried pork tenderloin is a beloved dish, loved for its golden crust, tender meat, and savory flavor. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 300g pork tenderloin, 1 egg, 50g cornstarch, 100g breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp soy sauce, oil for frying.

2. Marinate: In a bowl, mix the pork with egg, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
