Preparation

1. Place egg, flour, oil and ¼ cup water in a medium bowl. Mix to a smooth batter. Add pork and stir to coat well.

2. Heat rice bran oil in a wok on high until a cube of bread sizzles on contact. Cook pork in batches for 4 minutes, until lightly golden. Drain on paper towel. Reheat oil and re-fry pork in batches until crisp and golden brown. Drain thoroughly on paper towel.

4. Mix together cornflour and ¼ cup water. Add to wok, bring to boil and stir until sauce thickens slightly. Fold through pork and reheat gently. Serve with steamed rice.
