    The color is lighter compared to the south Chinese style that you are probably familiar with. It will be gone as soon as you put it on the table. People go nuts for this.
    Ingredients for the pork marinade
    - 350 grams of pork loin
    - 1/2 tsp of salt
    - 1.5 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine [Amazon Link: geni.us/3hdHAM]
    - 1/4 tsp of white pepper [Amazon Link: geni.us/93Id0E]
    - 1/4 tsp of baking soda [Amazon Link: geni.us/mAOJl]
    Ingredients for the coating
    - 1/2 cup of cornstarch [Amazon Link: geni.us/1OGCK]
    - 3/4 cup of corn starch +1/2 cup +1 tbsp of water
    Others
    - enough oil to deep fry
    - some carrot shreds
    - scallion shreds
    - ginger shreds
    - garlic slices
    Ingredients for the sauce
    - 2 tbsp of water
    - 1 tsp of cornstarch +2 tsp of water
    - 1/4 cup of sugar
    - 2 tbsp of vinegar [Amazon Link: geni.us/4eXDBMz]
    - 3/8 tsp of salt
    INSTRUCTIONS
    - Slice the pork loin against the grain into 3 mm thick pieces. Pork shoulder or pork butt will work fine too.
    - Marinade the meat with 1/2 tsp of salt, some white pepper to taste, you can also use black pepper, 1/4 tsp of baking soda to tenderize the meat, and 1.5 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine. Mix it well. The meat is thinly sliced so you really need to rub in between each piece so the marinade can be evenly distributed. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
    - Next, we gonna coat the meat with a thin layer of corn starch. Take a piece of meat. Unfold it. Pad it in the cornstarch. Then shake off the excess starch. Keep doing that until you finish all of them.
    - On the side here, mix 3/4 cup of cornstarch and 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp of water. Stir until it is well combined. It should be like whipping cream texture. Add the coated meat into the cornstarch water. Mix it well. You might ask me why do coat the meat with cornstarch twice? I can’t explain the science behind it but I have tried to coat the meat only once and it did not come out as good. So just stick with this method.
    - The meat is very sticky now. I suggest you separate them ahead of the time. Unfold it nicely. Because we gonna deep fry them. The meat is thinly sliced. You want to put them into oil fast. This will allow you to pick up the meat easily and you will not be in a rush.
    - Besides the meat, you will also need some aromatic and vegetables: 2 pieces of spring onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 small piece of carrot and a small piece of red bell pepper. Simply slice the garlic and cut the others into shreds.
    - Heat the frying oil to 380 F. When you add the meat in, it will sink to the bottom but soon it will float to the top. That means the temperature is correct. Don’t crowd the wok because they like to stick to each other. So you might need to fry it in batches. Use chopsticks to continually flipping them so they cook evenly. The meat is very thin and it is really easy to over-cooked them. I will only fry it for less than 2 minutes.
    - This is the first frying. It shouldn’t turn golden at all. Even if it is slightly golden, the meat will be overcooked during the second fry. Yes, we are double frying the meat. The second time, heat the oil a little bit higher to 390 F. Add in all the meat. It is ok if it is a little crowd. Just keep stirring and flipping them. The second fry should be less than 2 minutes as well. Take them out. Now the meat is slightly golden. Shake off any excess oil it is not too greasy. You can re-use the frying oil for up 4 times. Don’t need to waste it.
    - Now we gonna make a simple sweet and sour sauce. You will need 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 tbsp of water, 2 tbsp of vinegar, 3/8 tsp of salt, Some cornstarch water (1 tsp of cornstarch +2 tsp of water). Continue stirring it on medium heat until it becomes a thin syrup texture. Like that. Introduce the pork back to wok along with the vegetables that we prepared before. Stir to cook the vegetable. Then toss it nicely so the sauce coats everything. And you are done.

    So, my dad told me about your channel 2 weeks ago and I have made 4 of your recipes in the past week (rice cooker pork belly, crispy pork belly, this recipe and tapioca pearls/squares with warm milk tea). All have been deeeeelicious and so easy to follow!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion with us. I've always wanted to make and even try authentic Chinese food and now I can.

    Amazing! Cooked it tonight! Very well documented video and written instructions, the only thing I’d add is I used 2 spring onions, a third of a pepper and 3 cloves of garlic sliced. When I do it again, which will be very soon, I would reduce the heat for the oil and double the amount of veg I used. Perfect!

    If it has not already been said coating the meat in cornstarch before putting it into the cornstarch batter will help it stick to the meat better, this is why when you make fried chicken you dip the meat into the flour THEN the egg/batter, then back into the flour again.

    • @namelesswarrior4760
      @namelesswarrior4760 Před 4 lety

      Don't put too much or it'll tastes weird! Corn flour or potato starch will help with tenderising as well and have no baking soda tastes!
