    Add cooking oil to a fry pan and heat over medium heat. Spread out the pork slices so they do not overlap, and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

Cooking Basics

Pork loin - removing sinew / silver skin

There is a tough connective tissue (sinew also called silver skin) between the fat and pink meat of the loin. This portion will not melt away (as fat does) but rather will harden and twist when cooked. Making several cuts into the sinew with the tip of a knife will prevent this and also improve the texture of the meat.
