Ingredients | Sweet And Sour Rye Bread Recipes

8 ounces pork loin

1 teaspoon rice wine

⅔ teaspoon salt, divided

1 pinch monosodium glutamate (MSG)

½ cup chicken stock

¼ cup cornstarch, divided

2 ½ tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons vinegar

⅔ teaspoon soy sauce

2 eggs

1 ¼ cups vegetable oil for frying

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (3/4 inch thick) slice ginger, minced

4 spring onions, finely chopped

Directions

Pound pork to 1/3-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Slice into 1 1/2-inch strips.

Combine pork strips, rice wine, 1/3 teaspoon salt, and monosodium glutamate in a bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Mix remaining 1/3 teaspoon salt, chicken stock, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce in a bowl to make sauce.

Beat eggs with remaining 3 tablespoons cornstarch in a bowl until smooth. Add pork strips; stir to coat.

Heat oil in a wok or large saucepan to 280 degrees F (140 degrees C). Add pork strips one at a time to the hot oil. Cook until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.

Heat oil to 340 degrees F (170 degrees C). Return pork to the hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate with the slotted spoon.

Drain all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Cook and stir garlic and ginger in the hot oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sauce and spring onions; cook and stir until sauce begins to thicken, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the pork on the serving plate.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
