Recipe By Slurrp

A crispy crunchy mouth-watering preparation of thinly sliced pork deep fried and tossed with vegetables and a sweet and tangy sauce. The best ever Sweet and Sour Pork recipe is loaded with tricks the Chinese have been using for centuries: double dredge and double fry for extra crispy, cornflour instead of flour, economical pork used for juiciness, but tenderized with baking soda so you’d swear they’re pricey chops, and a sauce that’s not sickeningly sweet.

Directions : Crispy Sweet And Sour Pork Recipe

STEP 1.1 cut 350 gm pork loin in half and then slice against the grain to make 3 mm thick pieces.

STEP 2.2 place the meat in a bowl and add ½ tsp salt, white or black pepper to taste, ¼ tsp baking soda to tenderise the meat, 1 ½ tbsp chinese cooking wine. Mix well and rub between each slice to ensure that all the pieces are coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

STEP 3.3 in a bowl add ½ cup cornflour and dip each slice into the bowl and individually coat them the flour. Shake off the excess flour. keep aside.

STEP 4.4 in another bowl add ¾ cup cornstarch and 1 ¼ cup water. Stir until well combined and lump free.

STEP 5.5 add the coated meat into the bowl with the cornstarch water and mix it well. Then separate each slice, unfold it neatly and place it in a flat container.

STEP 6.6 heat soybean oil or any oil with a high smoking point to 380 degrees fahrenheit.

STEP 7.7 when the meat is added, one slice at a time, it will sink to the bottom and then rise back up to the surface. This indicates that the oil is at the right temperature.

STEP 8.8 do not crowd the wok as the pieces will stick to each other. To avoid this fry the pork in batches.

STEP 9.9 use chopsticks to keep flipping the pieces over so that they cook evenly. Do not cook for more than 2 minutes. take them out before they turn golden. Else the meat will be overcooked.

STEP 10.10 once all the meat is fried once, heat the same oil to 390 degrees fahrenheit for double frying.

STEP 11.11 add all the pieces back to the hot oil and fry for not more than 2 minutes. Flip them over and fry till just golden. Then take them out of the hot oil using a sieve to drain off the excess.

STEP 12.12 to make the sweet and sour sauce, add ¼ cup sugar to the wok. Add 2 tbsp water and stir. Then add 2 tbsp vinegar, ⅜ tsp salt, cornstarch water (1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water).

STEP 13.13 continuously stir till the sugar melts and the consistency reaches that of a thin syrup.

STEP 14.14 introduce the pork back to wok and toss well with the sauce.

STEP 15.15 then add 2 pieces spring onion shredded, 2 garlic sliced, 1 pieces of carrot shredded and 1 piece capsicum shredded.

STEP 16.16 stir to cook the vegetables and toss well so that the sauce coats everything.

STEP 17.17 crispy sweet and sour pork is ready.
