Ingredients
3 pork chops or pork loin cut about 1.5 cm thick
1 jalapeno pepper chopped and de-seeded
1 red bell pepper chopped and de-seeded
1 Shallot minced
Sliced garlic
Cornstarch or potato starch
Minced green onion
Marinade
2 Tablespoon light or regular soy sauce
¼ teaspoon or couple dashes white pepper
1 teaspoon shaoxing rice wine
1 teaspoon or a 2 finger pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ginger powder
Seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon white pepper
MSG (optional)
Instructions
Slice a very shallow grid pattern on both sides of the pork about 2mm deep.
Use a meat mallet or pot or pan or something to tenderize the meat. Hit down and out to flatten and spread out the meat evenly.
Combine marinade ingredients and mix evenly with the pork. Marinade in the fridge for at least 30 min.
Coat pork with a light layer of cornstarch or potato starch
Place in air fryer and airfryer total 13-15 minutes at 400F or 205C, non pre-heated. Check at half way point to spray oil on dry starch spots. When pork is golden brown and slightly crispy take it out and let it rest at least 5 min or so before cutting into smaller pieces.
Get a wok or very large pan over medium high heat, add about a tablespoon of oil, wait until oil is hot (starts to shimmer or smoke a little bit) and add in shallot and sliced garlic and stir fry until garlic starts to brown. Then add, jalapenos and bell pepper and stir fry about 30 seconds until a little softened. Then add in the pork, seasoning mix and toss to combine.
