Method (preview)

1. 1

   Cut pork into 3/4-inch cubes. Mix the sherry and 1 tablespoon soy sauce together, and add to the pork.

2. 2

   With your fingers rub the mixture into meat.

3. 3

   Still using your fingers, roll the cubes in about 1/2 cup cornstarch until thoroughly dredged but not too thickly covered. (The fineness of the end result of this recipe depends on the meat’s being crisp -- never soggy.) Cut the carrot on the diagonal into 1/4-inch slices.

4. 4

   Cut the green pepper in half; remove seeds and cut into 1-inch squares.

5. 5

   Cut the pineapple slices into 1/2-inch wedges.

6. 6

   Drain, remove stems.

7. 7

   Cut into 1/2-inch strips.

8. 8

   Smash, peel, and mince garlic.

9. 9

   Combine garlic, carrots, green pepper, pineapple, and mushrooms.

10. 10

    Combine vinegar, 1/2 cup water, black pepper, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, salt, sugar, and chili pepper.

11. 11

    Heat oil in deep fry pan to 375-degrees.

12. 12

    Cook pork cubes a few at a time until very light brown, about 5 minutes.

13. 13

    Stir with a chopstick occasionally so that the cubes do not touch each other.

14. 14

    Drain on paper towels, and keep hot in low oven (200-degrees).

15. 15

    Repeat this process, cooking pork in hot oil until cubes float and are golden brown -- 2 to 3 minutes. (This double cooking insures that the meat will be crisp.) Heat the water-vinegar mixture in small saucepan.

16. 16

    In a medium-sized skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil at high heat.

17. 17

    Add vegetable-pineapple mixture and stir-fry for 4 minutes.

18. 18

    Add the hot water-vinegar mixture to the vegetables and stir well.

19. 19

    Add the cornstarch mixture, and cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute.

20. 20

    Pour sauce over pork cubes and mix.
