Deep-Fried Pork: Marinated |
|
Serves: 4
Print this Recipe
For deep-frying, pork that is either lean or half-lean, half-fat can be used. When using the half-and-half pork, remove its coarse outer skin and score the fat in a crisscross pattern.
These are the steps in deep-frying pork:
(1) cubing the meat;
(2) marinating it;
(3) dredging it in flour or cornstarch, or coating it with batter;
(4) immersing it in hot oil and deep-frying until done; and
(5) serving it sprinkled either with pepper or sesame oil, or accompanied by a sweet-and-pungent sauce.
1 pound pork
TO MARINATE:
2 tablespoons soy
2 tablespoons sherry
2 teaspoons sugar, optional
Dash pepper, optional
TO DREDGE (#3):
Egg
Flour
Salt
TO COAT:
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup flour
4 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt
TO CUBE:
Cut meat in 3/4- to 1-inch cubes.
TO MARINATE:
(This step is optional but greatly enhances the flavor.)
Let pork cubes stand 15 to 30 minutes, turning meat several times, in any of the following mixtures:
MARINADE VARIATIONS:
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sugar
* 2 tablespoons sherry, 1 teaspoon salt
TO DREDGE:
1. Sprinkle lightly with flour.
2. Dip in beaten egg. Roll or toss in cornstarch. Let stand until cornstarch is absorbed.
3. Dip in beaten egg. Roll or toss in flour seasoned lightly with salt.
TO COAT:
Instead of dredging as above, dip pork in any of the mixtures (do not coat too thickly-the batter will absorb too much oil):
COATING VARIATIONS:
* 2 eggs, beaten; 2 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 egg white, beaten lightly; 4 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt
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.)
