DEEP-FRIED PORK: UNMARINATED

Steps:

• TO CUBE: Cut meat in 3/4- to 1-inch cubes. TO DREDGE: 1. Season with salt and pepper. Roll or toss in flour or cornstarch. Dip in beaten egg. 2. Roll or toss in cornstarch. Gradually add sherry 1/2 teaspoon at a time, tossing cubes until coated with a thick, heavy paste. 3. Roll or toss lightly in flour. Season with salt and a dash of pepper. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sherry, 1/2 teaspoon five spices. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes, turning meat several times. TO COAT: Dip in the mixture: TO DEEP-FRY: Heat the oil to about 375 degrees. Add the pork cubes a few at a time. Deep-fry until golden (about 3 minutes). Lift meat out a minute to cool while reheating oil. Return pork to oil and deep-fry until done (about 3 to 4 minutes more). If a large amount of oil is used, the pork cubes will float when done. Otherwise, check for doneness by cutting a cube open to see that it is no longer Pink. TO SERVE: When serving pork with a sweet-and-pungent sauce, prepare the sauce first (search for "Category: Sweet-and-Pungent Sauces"). Then, when the pork has been deep-fried, reheat sauce, and stir the pork in briefly, only to heat through. (If pork is cooked too long in the sauce, it will lose its crispness.)The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook. ©1994 by Gloria Bley Miller.
