Step 1

Chop desired amount of pork shoulder into small pieces (0.5cm thick). Lightly season with salt and black pepper. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make pork sauce by mixing the following in a small bowl: 1 Heaping Tbsp minced ginger (6g), 2 Tbsp minced garlic (26g), 1 tsp sugar (5g), 4 Tbsp regular soy sauce (44g), 3 Tbsp plum extract (46g), 3 Tbsp water (40g) or orange juice, 1 Tbsp sesame oil (10g).

Step 3

After waiting 30 minutes for the pork, pour appropriate amount of potato or corn starch. Coat pork in starch.

Step 4

Heat cooking oil in pan or work. Cook pork, flipping it around often. Once it is just fully cooked and crispy, quickly absorb the excess oils with a paper towel.

Step 5

Add in desired amount of sauce by the spoonful in accordance to the amount of pork you prepared. We personally did not use all the sauce. Quickly mix around sauce until all pork is coated. Do not overcook, as you don’t want to dry out the sauce.

Step 6

Turn off heat, and add in garnish and mix: Black Pepper, chopped green onion, sesame seeds, and a quick swirl of sesame oil to finish it off!

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy!
