We prepare products for pork in batter. Dry my pork with napkins. The water should be cold, icy. I have - right with pieces of ice. Until the moment of making the batter, it must be in the refrigerator. Sieve flour and starch.

We cut the meat into small pieces measuring about 2x3 cm and 2-2. 5 cm thick.

We beat off pieces of meat, thanks to this procedure, it will be very tender after frying.

Before dipping the meat in batter, we will prepare all the products for the sweet and sour sauce. My-clean vegetables. Now let's grind all the vegetables so that they are at our fingertips at the right time, since this dish is prepared quite quickly. At the same time, we will not have time for vegetables later, as it will be necessary to quickly fry the meat and make sure that it does not burn.

Carrots are cut with a long straw, onions - with half rings (in Chinese: along the onion, not across), peppers - with squares.

Chop garlic and ginger into thin plates.

We take ice water from the refrigerator (it allows the maple to remain crisp when fried). We pour it into a deep container, add egg white (we don't need yolk), shake it well with a fork, quickly add starch and flour. Mix well until homogeneous consistency without lumps.

We dip pieces of chipped meat in batter. We make sure that the batter is distributed evenly on all sides.

Batter should be like thick sour cream in consistency. Stir the meat in batter.

We heat a deep frying pan or wok over the fire. We pour vegetable oil there, warm it up well. Immerse the meat in starch batter in portions in a deep fryer and fry until fully cooked - until golden in color for 7-8 minutes. To check the readiness of the meat, cut in half a piece of meat from the 1st batch and make sure. In two or three runs, we fry all the slices of meat.

We put the meat on paper napkins so that excess oil is absorbed. At the same time, we cover the meat with something from above so that it does not cool down.

Pour 3-4 tbsp. l of vegetable oil into a warmed frying pan, warm it up, throw garlic and ginger, almost immediately put onions and carrots. Fry, stirring constantly, for 4-5 minutes.

Add bell pepper and pineapple, simmer constantly stirring for 4-5 minutes.

We pour soy sauce, starch (1 tbsp), honey, preliminarily diluted in a small amount of water, squeeze juice from half a lemon, salt and pepper to taste.

Mix thoroughly, reduce the heat and simmer the sauce until thickened for about 8 minutes.

Put deep-fried meat in batter on a serving plate or in deep dishes, generously pour sour-sweet sauce on top and serve hot. Enjoying! Try it, it's incredibly delicious and fragrant!
