Ingredients
- 1 lb pork loin or pork shoulder, sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces at 1-inch wide x 2-inches long
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 orange bell pepper diced
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cups vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Batter
- 1 cup Potato Starch or cornstarch
- ½ cup water cold
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
Sweet and Sour Sauce
- 2 tablespoon Regular soy sauce
- 6 tablespoon white vinegar or rice vinegar/apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup water cold
- 1 tablespoon Potato Starch or cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon white granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your batter ingredients until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix your sweet and sour sauce until well combined and set aside.
- Pat sliced pork dry with paper towel and mix into batter. Note: The batter will naturally solidify when left undisturbed. This is totally normal so don't panic! When you re-mix the batter, it'll loosen up again.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Once the oil temperature reaches 325 degrees F with a digital instant read thermometer or place a chopstick in the oil and when you see bubbles form, fry battered pork in small batches. Fry for 5-6 minutes flipping it over until golden brown. Remove and transfer to a wire rack or a paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Then double fry the fried pork again for another 2-3 minutes until extra crispy and brown. Remove and transfer back to wire rack or paper towel lined plate.
- Remove most of the oil and leave 2 teaspoon in the pan. On medium heat sauté bell peppers and onions until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in sweet and sour sauce and simmer to thicken. Once thickened, pour sauce into a medium serving bowl.
- Serve crispy pork and sauce separately and dip as needed. Or alternatively pour sauce over pork when ready to serve. Enjoy!
