Instructions
Step 1
Slice pork shoulder across the grain into 1/2" pieces.
Step 2
Marinate with soy sauce, garlic powder, white pepper, and salt and let rest for at least 20 mintues while you prep the rest of your ingredients.
Step 3
Chop ginger and garlic and set aside.
Step 4
Slice bell peppers, onions, and pineapple into 1" pieces. Place in a bowl and set aside.
Step 5
Mix ketchup, brown sugar, white vinegar, cornstarch, and water for your sauce. Set aside.
Step 6
Beat 1 egg. Add beaten egg to marinated pork. Slowly add in 2 tbsp of flour to marinated pork and egg mixture. Mix to combine until you get a wet batter consistency.
Step 7
Coat pork pieces in cornstarch and pack in to get a good coating. Shake off any excess.
Step 8
Heat neutral oil to 350°F and fry your pork for 4-5 min. Make sure to not overcrowd your pan. If your oil temp drops below 300°F when you add your pork, remove some and fry in smaller batches.
Step 9
Remove pork. Increase oil temp to 400°F and fry a second time for 1 min. Set aside.
Step 10
Sauté vegetables over high heat for 2 minutes in oil to get some color and remove.
Step 11
Sauté ginger and garlic for 30 seconds. Add in your sauce from earlier and mix. Add in your cornstarch slurry and mix for 5 seconds. Add in your vegetables, pineapple, and pork. Stir to combine for one minute. Serve with freshly steamed rice and enjoy!
