Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns
5 ounces pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
oil for frying
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green chile peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces, or more to taste
2 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 ounces canned lychees, drained
¼ teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Combine egg yolk, soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, salt, and Sichuan peppercorns in a bowl to make the marinade. Add pork; marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Mix vinegar, water, sugar, tomato paste, soy sauce, and cornstarch together to make the seasoning sauce.
  • Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Roll the marinated pork in cornstarch until each piece is well covered. Deep-fry pork for 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir-fry green peppers and scallions for 30 seconds. Add lychees and pour in the seasoning sauce. Stir well until sauce thickens. Leave over very low heat.
  • Reheat the deep-frying oil. Re-fry pork until crisp, about 30 seconds. Drain and place on a warm plate. Pour the seasoning sauce on top. Sprinkle with sesame oil and serve at once.

I didn't have any lychees on hand, so I used pineapple instead. It turned out great!

The pork was a bit tough. I think I overcooked it.

I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.
