Crispy Five Spice Pork Recipe
Ingredients :
450 g 1 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon 1 1/2 tablespoons 2 slices 2 cloves 1 1/2 tablespoons 1 teaspoon 2 teaspoons 1 1/2 teaspoons	Lean pork Salt ** Five-spice powder Cornflour Fresh root ginger Garlic Soy sauce Castor sugar Sea salt Szechwan peppercorns, pounded Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Method : Cut the pork into thick strips. Sprinkle and rub with the salt, five-spice powder and cornflour. Leave to season for 30 minutes. Finely chop the ginger and garlic. Heat the oil in a wok or deep-fryer. When hot, fry half the pork strips over medium heat for 3 1/2 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl. Fry the remaining pork strips for 3 1/2 minutes, then drain and add to the bowl. Add the soy sauce and sugar to the pork, mixing well. Pour away the oil to use for other purposes, leaving 2 tablespoons. Re-heat the wok or pan. When hot, stir in the ginger, garlic, sea salt and pepper over medium heat for 25 seconds. Pour the once-fried and seasoned pork into the pan. Turn and stir around quickly so that the pork is evenly coated by the spicy ingredients. Turn, toss and stir for 1 minute. Transfer to a heated serving dish. Serve hot. ** One of our visitors (Josette van Stiphout) has tried out this recipe and recommended that the salt is reduced to 1/3 to avoid the dish being too salty for some people. Thanks for the great tips, Josette.
