Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork

Steps to Follow

Marinating the Pork and Preparing the Batter

Wash the pork with diluted saltwater and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the pork with 1/3 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper for about 5-10 minutes.

While waiting for the pork to marinate, prepare the batter. Mix 150g of potato starch with 200ml of water, let it settle for about 4-5 minutes, then drain the clear water. Add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil to the settled batter and mix well.

Frying the Pork

Coat each piece of pork with the prepared batter. Heat the cooking oil in a pan, then fry the pork for the first time for about 5-7 minutes until golden. Remove the pork from the oil. Fry the pork again for the second time until it becomes completely crispy and golden.
