I didn't know the purpose of the soda was to make the meat tender. hehe Well, I have tried shrimp with soda and it was good..but shrimp isn't meat right?

@hereandthere Nope I was told to marinate the meat for about 30 minutes before cooking and it turned out soft and tender.. No sweetness that I noticed.. I like mine spicy.

I finished off the gyro I had in the fridge. I didn't have any cucumber sauce left, so I used sour cream, it was just as good.

@hereandthere It comes pre-made, but I think its a combination of feta cheese, cucumber and sour cream to make it creamy. I'm not really sure, but I think that's how it's made. It's always used on gyros.

I use Sprite or Seven-Up for "Tahong" or mussels... I haven't tried it in pork. Maybe it tastes good for the barbecue. That is by marinating the pork in Sprite together with the soy sauce and vinegar...

I have never heard that soda drink tenderise the meat, but I know that papaya tenderise the meat. I think that I should prefer papaya, the sodas are so full of sugar.

That's good @Macarrosel. That was the first time I used sprite in tenderising meat. The thing is, I don't like sweet food besides the desserts.

I actually have used soda for the purpose of tenderizing meat especially great when you don't have fresh fruits to use or access to a place that sells what you need close by.

I use sodas a lot when cooking chicken and pork. It does a good job of tenderizing.

It is because soda contains acid, which is what tenderizes meat. So basically...anything with acid will tenderize meat.

Yes, i have heard about Sprite that it can tenderize meats specially for marinating those for barbecues . Though i don't try it for stir fries because it might make the whole taste of the stir fried veggies a bit weird . So , it is delicious after all . I might try that when i am in a hurry to tenderize the meat for the stir fried veggies.

You will add the veggies when the meat is tender @SIMPLYD so the soda has already evaporated.
