MARINADE
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice cooking wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
12 ounces peanut oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons roasted ground Szechuan peppercorns
1 teaspoon five spice powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3-4 cups oil for frying
2 tablespoons oil for stir frying
Directions: Cube the pork and place in a bowl. Add the marinade ingredients one at a time, mixing in with chopsticks and adding the cornstarch last. Marinate the pork for about 15 minutes.
Heat deep fryer and add oil. When oil is ready, carefully slide the pork cubes into the fryer. Deep-fry until they are golden (this should take approximately 10 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to remove the pork. Drain on paper towels.
Heat wok and add 2 tablespoons of the used oil. Add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the salt, peppercorns, five-spice powder, and chili powder. Add the deep-fried pork cubes and stir-fry for another 2 - 3 minutes. Serve hot.
