Ingredients

  • 500 g Pork shoulder
  • 1 lb Pork loin
  • 1 cup Pineapple
  • 1 pcs Bell pepper
  • 2 pieces Bell peppers
  • 1 piece Egg
  • 60 g Sugar
  • 60 ml Rice vinegar
  • 0.5 cup Cornstarch
  • 0.25 cup Ketchup
  • 30 ml Soy sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Marinate with soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch for 20 minutes.

    💡 Cornstarch coating creates crispy exterior when fried.

  2. 2

    Mix sauce: 3 tbsp ketchup, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 100ml water.

    💡 Double-fry the pork at different temperatures for maximum crispiness.

  3. 3

    Deep fry pork at 350°F in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on rack.

    💡 Don't overcrowd - fry in batches for crispiness.

  4. 4

    Stir-fry bell peppers and pineapple chunks for 2 minutes. Add sauce and simmer until thickened.

    💡 The sauce should coat the pork - not be soupy.

  5. 5

    Add pork and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

    💡 Double-fry the pork at different temperatures for maximum crispiness.
