Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using a slotted spoon to lift and tap the fritters in the air helps loosen any clinging batter, removes moisture, and allows oil to penetrate the coating, resulting in significantly crispier texture.
  • Enjoy without sauce—dip in salt or pepper alone to fully appreciate the rich, savory flavor of the pork and its tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to experience authentic Chinese-style crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside fried meat at home.
  • People who prefer savory, salty snacks over sweet sauces like sweet and sour sauce.
