How to fry pork in a pan so that it is soft and juicy? This question is often asked by inexperienced housewives, because it is pork that is the most popular type of meat on any table. It is prepared for a family dinner, a friendly picnic, and a festive feast. Therefore, the key to the success of the dish is the correct choice of meat, its proper preparation and the correct way of cooking.
Experienced frying chefs recommend using a tenderloin, thick rim, or internal back muscle. Such meat cooks quickly and always turns out to be soft. Of course, it is worth noting that the quality of the food is still largely influenced by the age of the pig, and it is clear that the dish from a young pig will turn out to be tastier. Also try to buy pieces with a fat layer, then the pork after heat treatment will be juicy and tender. Well, of course, do not stop your choice on frozen meat. It loses significantly to a fresh piece. If you still decide to fry the pork that lived in the freezer, then defrost it gradually - in the refrigerator for a day. Never use a microwave oven or water jet to thaw. Well, and all the other subtleties of cooking, read in a step-by-step recipe.

Step-by-step cooking of fried pork in a pan:
1. Rinse the meat under running cold water, blot with a paper towel and cut into medium pieces, about 3 cm each. If the pork is cut into small pieces, it will burn and may become dry.
2. Cut the peeled carrots with onion and garlic into sticks or strips.
3. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil very well. Add the meat and turn on a high heat. Do not turn the pieces over! Make sure that the meat is in one layer in the pan, this is important! Otherwise, it will begin to release a lot of juice, from which it will not start to fry, but to stew. Turn it over after 5 minutes and leave again. When on the second side it acquires a golden brown crust, screw the flame and stir again. The resulting crust under the influence of the hot temperature will retain all the juice in the pieces. Only when the meat becomes golden brown, put onions, carrots and garlic into the pan.
4. Stir the food and fry for 10 minutes.
5. Now season the dish with pepper, spices and add sour cream. Do not salt! Mix the ingredients, boil, cover and simmer in the sauce for 20 minutes. Sour cream will soften the meat fibers and make the pork very soft. Season the food with salt 5 minutes before cooking. Salt promotes the release of juice, so salting the pork ahead of time, it will let the liquid go and become dry. A hearty and tasty meal is ready. Serve soft stewed pork in sour cream sauce to the table with any side dish.
