pairs-with: sweet-and-sour-sauce, egg-fried-rice

slack: unforgiving — the first fry cooks the pork through and the second crisps it, and the two cannot be merged into one

washing-up: the wok, a bowl to marinate in, a dish to dredge in, a rack to drain on

capacity: 2 — four cups of oil in the wok, fry

keeps: not at all — the pineapple keeps thinning the sauce and the batter goes slack in it by morning

step: toss to coat, serve at once

🍳 Cookware

1

Marinate pork shoulder with Shaoxing wine , light soy sauce , and egg for 20 min .
2

Dredge @&( timer in cornstarch , pressing it on, then shaking off what does not cling.
3

Fry @&( timer in peanut oil in two batches at 350°F (175°C) for 5 min , rest it on a rack, then return every cube to the oil at 375°F (190°C) for 2 min .
4

Stir-fry green bell pepper , onion , and pineapple chunks in a hot wok for 2 min , only until the edges take colour.
5

Pour sweet and sour sauce over @&( timer and 1 min until it turns glossy.

Toss @&( timer through @&( timer off the heat and serve at once — the crust holds for about a minute, which is the whole reason it is fried twice.
