Ingredients
- 335 grams pork loins sliced into quarters
- 2 bell peppers chopped
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 2 cups vegetable oil for deep frying
batter for sweet and sour pork:
- 1 cup potato starch
- ½ cup water
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
tangsuyuk sauce:
- 2 tbsp regular soy sauce
- ¼+ ⅛ cup white vinegar
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp white granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix your batter ingredients until well combined.
- Pat your pork loins dry with paper towel. Slice your pork into bite size pieces and add pieces to batter. Mix until each piece is coated in batter. Note: it may be hard to mix as potato cornstarch naturally solidifies when left undisturbed. This is normal. However, when you mix it enough the batter will become loose again.
- In another bowl, mix your Tangsuyuk sauce until well combined.
- Then in a large wok or deep pan set over medium heat add cooking oil. Place a chopstick in the oil and when you see bubbles form, you are ready to fry your pork. Carefully add in each piece of battered pork. Fry for 5-6 minutes flipping it over until golden brown. Remove and transfer to a plate.
- Then deep fry again for another 2-3 minutes until extra crispy and brown. Remove and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
- Remove the oil and leave 1 tsp in the pan. Over medium heat fry your bell peppers and onions until they have softened, about 2-3 minutes. Pour in your sauce and let this reduce until it has thickened. Then pour the sauce into a serving bowl.
- Serve crispy pork and sauce separately and dip as needed. Or alternatively pour sauce over pork when ready to serve. Enjoy!
