7 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon white peppers
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons dried brown chili
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger root
3/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
2 ounces rice sticks noodles
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seed

Trim fat from pork loin; cut pork into 3/4-inch pieces. Mix egg, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon light soy sauce and the white pepper in medium bowl; stir in pork. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat in 2-quart saucepan; reduce heat to low. Add chili, garlic and gingerroot; cook 30 seconds. Add sugar, broth, vinegar and 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce; heat to boiling. Add cornstarch mixture; cook and stir 15 seconds or until thickened. Keep sauce warm.
Heat vegetable oil (1 inch) in wok to 425°. Fry noodles, 1/4 at a time 5 seconds or until puffed, turning once; drain on paper towels.
Reduce oil temperature to 350°. Mix flour, 3/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon salt and the baking soda. Stir pork into batter until pork is well coated. Fry 15 to 18 pieces of pork at a time 4 minutes or until light brown, turning occasionally; drain on paper towels.
Increase oil temperature to 375°. Fry pork all at one time 1 minute or until golden brown; drain on paper towels. Place noodles on heated platter. Mix pork with sauce; pour over noodles. Sprinkle with sesame seed and green onions.

**Texture is almost as important as flavor in this dish. Frying the meat twice gives it an exceptionally crisp exterior and a rich deep color. The puffed, crunchy rice noodles are a perfect complement.
