Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your batter ingredients until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, mix your sweet and sour sauce until well combined and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Pour in sweet and sour sauce and simmer to thicken. Once thickened, pour sauce into a medium serving bowl.
  8. Serve crispy pork and sauce separately and dip as needed. Or alternatively pour sauce over pork when ready to serve. Enjoy!
