Sweet&sour pork(糖醋里脊)

Sweet&sour pork （糖醋里脊）

Ingredients: 

• 1 pound   pork (I prefer either tenderloin or fillet, but any part is fine too)
• 1  large egg white
• 1 tbsp  ginger juice
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp  salt
• 1 1/2 cups corn starch or potato starch 
• 1 belt pepper (optional) 

Sauce:

• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp sugar
•  1/2 cup vinegar
• 1/4-1/2 cup of water if sauce is too thick

Directions:

Cut the pork into half inches wide long strips, seasoned with salt, pepper, ginger juice and one large egg white. Stir well, let it sit for 15 minutes. Then gently coat the pork with corn starch, and shake off the excess corn starch before you fry them.  When the pork look light golden color take them out and wait like 15 second, then put them back and fry the second time. It will make the pork more crispy. When the pork look golden, take them out and put on the plate with papertowel.   

Now it's time to make the sauce, leave about 2 tbsp of oil in the pan, add ketchup, sugar and vinegar in there, stir well until the sauce start boiling, if it's too thick,  add some water little by little until gets the consistence you want. ( not too thick or thin is the best) When the sauce start boiling, pull the belt pepper and pork into sauce and stir well. Sprinkle some cooked sesame seeds on top.(optional) Enjoy!
