Instructions

7 steps

1
Season the pork strips with salt and black pepper and let stand for 10 minutes.
2
Mix 1 cup potato starch with enough water to cover, let it settle for 20 minutes, then pour off the clear water and combine the thick starch with the egg white.
3
Coat the pork evenly in the starch batter.
4
Heat vegetable oil to 170°C and fry the pork in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, until pale golden; drain briefly.
5
Raise the oil to 185°C and fry the pork again for 1 to 2 minutes, until crisp and golden.
6
In a saucepan, simmer water, sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, onion, carrot, and cucumber for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the starch slurry until glossy and thickened.
7
Serve the fried pork with the hot sweet-sour sauce poured over it or served on the side.
