Pork is not as easy to cook as it seems. Meat can quickly become hard and dry, so in this article we will share effective ways to cook soft pork.
Why meat is tough
Most likely, you did not clean the cut well enough from excess films and tendons, cooked it in a small bowl at too high a temperature. Perhaps you overexposed the meat or, conversely, cooked it too little.
It could also be the wrong cut. Often, large pieces of meat are cut into smaller ones before cooking.
If you cut along the fibers, the meat will become hard - it will lose the juice. Cut across.
How to properly cook pork
While stewing the meat, reduce the heat to medium, put the onion in the pan and fry it together with the meat for about 5 minutes.
Pour in some water to cover the bottom of the pan, keeping the heat low.
Simmer the pork, covered, for 30 minutes (until soft), checking occasionally to make sure all the liquid hasn't boiled away.
Carbonic acid perfectly softens the fibers and is suitable for both pork and tougher beef. Instead of ordinary water, use mineral water, so additional useful trace elements will get into the dish.
Tomato, pineapple, citrus, pomegranate juices are suitable for softening meat.
