Ingredients:
2 lbs pork butt, well trimmed, cut in one inch cubes (shoulder)
1 egg
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups oil
1 slice ginger
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ketchup
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine pork with egg, 1 Tblsp. cornstarch, salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. In a wok, heat oil to 350*. Add pork cubes and cook until crisp and golden, about 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour off and discard all but 1 1/2 Tblsp. oil from wok. Return wok to high heat. Add ginger and stir fry until aromatic, about 2 seconds; discard. Add green and red bell peppers and stir fry 1 minute to wilt. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, ketchup, remaining 1 Tblsp. cornstarch, and 1/3 cup cold water. Add to wok. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Return pork to wok and heat through, about 1 minute. Mound on serving platter and serve.
