Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine marinade ingredients and toss to coat pork completely. Place on a wire rack to dry out in the refrigerator or freezer (for 30 minutes).

Step 2

Thinly slice orange peel and set aside.

Step 3

Whisk together the sauce by combining orange juice, molasses, tamari, hoisin, mirin, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and cassava flour in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 4

In an electric fryer or a tall pot with heavy bottom, preheat frying oil to 375 degrees.

Step 5

Remove pork pieces from freezer and fry in small batches until brown and crispy, about three minutes. Remove from fryer and transfer to towel-lined plate or rack to drain. Repeat for all meat.

Step 6

When all pork has been fried, melt lard in large skillet over medium heat. Saute ginger and garlic for one minute.

Step 7

Add orange peel (except some to garnish) to the skillet and saute one minute more, then pour in sauce. Simmer for five minutes until hot.

Step 8

Toss in pork pieces and stir to coat. Top with sesame seeds and additional orange peel to garnish. We recommend it served over fried (cauli) rice.
