Instruction

  • . In a large mixing bowl, add cubed pork, salt, Shaoxing wine (if using), soy sauce, and egg. Stir well and press the marinade to coat evenly. Let the marinated pork rest for 5 minutes to soak in all the flavour.
  • . Prepare a shallow bowl with cornstarch (or flour) and dip the marinated pork to coat evenly on all sides. Set aside on a plate.
  • . You can deep fry, air fry, or bake the pork.
  • To air fry: Place the battered pork in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with cooking spray oil to coat evenly. Cook the pork (in 2 batches) at 350F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Shake the basket halfway to cook the pork evenly. Set aside on a plate.
  • To bake in the oven: Place the battered pork in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray oil. Bake in a 400F preheated oven for 15 minutes until golden brown. Set aside on a plate after baking.
  •  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients including ketchup, soy sauce (or oyster sauce), water (or chicken broth), sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Set the aside.
  • . Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 1 minute. Add bell peppers, onion, and pineapple and sauté for 1 minute. 
  • . Stir in the sauce mixture and let it simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until thickened to a desired consistency, stirring constantly.
  • . Add the cooked pork and toss well to coat, about 1 minute.
  • . Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve warm with a bowl of steamed rice or fried rice.
