Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 01

   Cut pork into small pieces, pepper and carrot into diamonds and mince garlic. Mix soy sauces, oyster sauce, vinegar, sugar, sauce starch and water.

2. 02

   Salt the pork and marinate for 10 minutes. The source says to add potato starch at 1:1 and gradually work in small amounts of water to match the photographed coating; it does not specify the ratio basis. Mix in a little oil.

3. 03

   Fry pieces individually until the coating sets, separate them and lift out. Raise the oil heat and fry again, then drain. The source gives an unmeasured 六成热 oil cue, not a temperature.

   Fry garlic, carrot and pepper in a little oil. Add sauce and cook until thickened, then add pork, coat quickly and serve immediately.
