Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the pork shoulder cubes in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the pork cubes, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
After marinating, drain the pork cubes and reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for later use.
Toss the drained pork cubes in the cornstarch, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork cubes to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Pan-fry the pork bites for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
Once all the pork bites are fried, reduce the heat to medium and add the reserved 2 tablespoons of marinade to the skillet. Let it bubble and reduce slightly, about 1 minute.
Toss the cooked pork bites back into the skillet, ensuring they are evenly glazed with the reduced marinade.
Transfer the pork bites to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Crispy Garlic Soy Pork Bites!
