eggs 2

salt 1/2 tsp

five spice powder  1/2 tsp

tomato sauce 4 tbsp

sugar 3 tbsp

vinegar 2 tbsp

water 2 tbsp

starch 1 tsp

1. Cut pork into slices or strips. About 3-5 mm.
2. In a bowl, add in starch (sweet potato starch would be the best choice, but I tried with corn starch and turned out not bad.) and beat in eggs. whisk till fully combined.
3. Add in salt and spice powder. Stir well.
4. Add pork slices into the batter. Stir to let them be fully covered with batter.
5. Deep fry in oil till golden brown.
6. To make them crispier, heat the oil and fry again. This step is optional.
7. To make sauce: Heat a pan. Add in 1 tbsp oil. Then add in 4 tbsp tomato sauce. Stir fry to make tomato sauce fully mixed with oil. and color will be brighter. Add in 3 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp vinegar and 2 tbsp water. Simmer with low heat. Dissolve 1 tsp starch in a little water and add into the sauce.
8. Add fried pork into the sauce. Quickly mix well.
