Sweet & Sour Pork

Directions

1. Cut pork shoulder into 2-centimeter cubes. Combine soy sauce, cooking wine, 1 tsp sugar, and 1tsp corn starch to make the marinade. Stir in cubed pork to coat evenly. Slightly beat egg and add to the mixture of pork and marinade. Let marinate for 30 minutes to up to 2 hours. 
2. Prepare garnishes. Remove stem and seeds from bell peppers and cut into 3-centimeter diamond pieces. Drain and cut each ring of canned pineapple into 8 pieces. 
3. Warm up enough oil to 300°F (180°C) for deep frying. Picking up pork using chopsticks or tongs, coat each cube with corn starch. Deep fry the coated pork for 30 seconds and turn to low heat and fry for 2 more minutes until their surface becomes light golden. Remove pork and reserve aside.
4. Turn heat to medium-high, and deep fry ginger, scallion, and shallots for 30 seconds. Remove and set aside. Deep fry bell peppers for 30 seconds. Remove and reserve with the aromatics. Turn the heat to high and return the previously fried pork to deep fry for another 1 minute. Remove and reserve with other ingredients. 
5. Heat up the soup with 1tbsp sugar and white vinegar in a non-stick pan until it boils. Add pork, peppers, aromatics, and pineapple to warm through and coat with sauce.
