Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • dash dark soy sauce
  • dash fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons oyster sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon soft dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 250 grams pork fillet sliced into thin strips

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add minced garlic, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, white pepper and water.  Mix well.  Add the sliced pork and mix thoroughly once more.  Cover and set aside in the fridge for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight.

  • Heat the oil for deep frying to 180c.  Transfer all of the pork slices into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden.  Drain off any excess oil, arrange the pork on a serving plate and top with spring onions and a few more toasted sesame seeds.
