Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin(甜酸里脊肉)

A common Chinese home cooking dish. I used the pork tenderloin since it is lean. 

Ingredients

Pork tenderloin - 1 piece, about 1 to 1.25 lbs
【Marinate】
Cooking wine - 1 TBSP
Flour - 2 TBSP
Corn starch - 2 tsp
Baking soda - 1 tsp
Salt - to taste
【Sauce】
Tomato sauce or Ketchup - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Honey - 1 - 2.5 TBSP
White vinegar - 3 TBSP
Corn starch - 2 tsp
【Garnish】
Sesame - for garnish, optional

Steps

1. Slice the pork into strips. In a mixing bowl, mix pork strips with all ingredients in "Marinate". Make sure the meat is evenly coated. Add a bit water if it is too dry.
2. Fry the pork strips in hot oil until golden. Set pork aside.
4. In a sauce pan, add all ingredients for "Sauce", except corn starch. Heat and let sauce boiling for 1 minute. Mix the corn starch with 2 TBSP of water in a bowl, and then pour into the sauce pan. When the sauce becomes sticky, stir in the fried pork pieces.
