The daily diet must include meat dishes to tone and replenish the supply of nutrients. There are plenty of dishes using meat products, all of them differ in their benefits and unrivaled taste. The recipe for one of such delicious and unforgettable meat dishes today is discussed in detail in our article, namely, we learn how to cook pork in batter, the taste of which is tender and soft.
The ingredients for cooking pork will need a little, so the costs will be minimal.
Necessary to purchase:
- pork fillet, about 700-800 grams;
olive oil 3 - 4 tablespoons;
-milk of any fat content (200 grams will be enough);
4 cups of flour;
- two eggs and spices to taste.
It is also important that the kitchen has all the necessary equipment, among which must be: a hammer for chops, cutting board, mixer, knife, forks, frying pan and kitchen towel.
Pork in batter, the recipe of which, as you have seen, does not require many ingredients, will surprise you with its delicate taste, if you clearly and strictly follow the rules of cooking.
Having chosen good pork meat in the store (preferably loin, since this particular variety is tender and juicy), first of all, do it thoroughly rinse under running water. Next, on a cutting board, using a sharp knife, cut out excess veins, slices of fat and fat so that cooked pork in batter is not spoiled.
The next step is to cut the meat. Portion pieces should not exceed size 3 by 3 centimeters, because larger portions can be unevenly fried.
After the pieces are cut, it's time to start the beating process. If you still use a variety of loin, then you should not beat it, because in itself this meat is already very soft and tender, and an extra beat will only spoil the taste of pork in batter.
When all the pieces are well processed and beaten off, you can proceed directly to the batter. There are many recipes for making batter, but often there are just ordinary spices and ingredients at hand, so you need to know the principle of making the simplest batter. The recipe for our mix will make pork even softer and more tender.
It is only necessary to beat eggs and milk in a mixer, gradually adding flour and spices. Make the lumps disappear, and the batter will turn out to be of medium consistency (neither liquid nor thick). The mixture should resemble something like a test for pancakes or pancakes.
Having prepared the batter, we proceed to fry the meat, but before that, heat the pan to the limit by pouring 30-40 g of olive oil. Pork in batter should be fried over high heat. Take the sliced pieces, dip in batter (it is important that the meat is completely covered with it on all sides) and carefully lay out in a pan.
If you think that after all of the above, your pork in batter is ready, then you are mistaken. So that there is no price for your chops, use another interesting method. When the pork is cooked, reduce the heat on the stove to almost a minimum, cover the pan with a lid, thereby organizing the steaming effect for it. Thanks to the moisture that accumulates on the surface of the lid, and then slowly drains to the bottom of the pan, your chops turn out to be truly juicy and lush.
The whole process of cooking pork will take no more than an hour, and there will be plenty of joy and pleasure from a delicious dish. Pork in batter in Chinese, as it is often called by Western chefs, has long occupied a significant place in the diet of every family.
