- Wipe pork with a damp cloth. Slice ginger root and crush the garlic.
- Boil water. Add in ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. Add in pork. Bring to a boil again; then simmer, covered, till tender (about 1-1/2 hrs).
- Drain pork, reserving liquid for stock. Let pork cold, then dry thoroughly and cut in 1-inch cubes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sweet-and-pungent sauce (see recipes). Heat oil for deep-frying.
- Beat egg. Dip pork in egg, then sprinkle with cornstarch. Deep-fry till golden brown (about 2 min) and drain on paper toweling. Serve with the sweet-and-pungent sauce poured over.
- NOTE: This method, usually used with coarser cuts, assures tenderness.
- Since the meat is already cooked, the deep-frying time is kept brief.
- VARIATION: Slice the pork 1-inch thick, then in 1- by 2-inch strips.
- Cover with cool water. Bring to a boil; then simmer, covered, 30 min.
- Drain, cold and dry; then dredge lightly in cornstarch and deep-fry.
