Ingredients
- 130 g Pork shoulder, raw
- 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Cornstarch
- 6 g Soy sauce
- 8 g Wine, fortified, dry

Method
- Cut the pork into thick strips or bite-sized chunks and marinate with the soy sauce, wine, ginger, garlic, black pepper, five-spice (using anise seed here) and salt for at least 20 minutes.
- Beat the egg into the marinated pork so it clings to each piece.
- Toss the pork pieces in the flour and cornstarch until evenly coated in a light, dry batter.
