Braised Deep Fried Pork Slices in Wine Sauce By Pig on a Spit - Apr 24, 2008 |

Wine lees paste - A thick fermented wine paste. Light miso (Japanese soybean paste) can be used as a substitute.
The flavoring of the pork with our version of Fujinese "wine lees paste" gives it a distinctive and uniquely delicious flavor. Unfortunately the real authentic wine lees paste is not available for purchase in the US to my knowledge.
Ingredients:
1 ts Red rice vinegar
2 tb Medium sherry
3/4 c Stock
Cornstarch paste
1 1/2 lb Boned pork butt
3 tb Peanut oil
3 Cloves garlic, minced
2 Egg yolks
1 ts Water
1 c Fine plain bread crumbs
4 c Oil for deep-frying
Ingredients for Paste:
2 tb Cooked rice
1/2 ts Sugar
1 ts Dry baker's yeast
2 tb Dark soy sauce
2 tb Warm water
1 ts Wet bean cheese (opt)
Cooking Method:
Prepare Paste: Use mortar and pestle to pulverize cooked rice.
Combine with sugar, yeast, soy and warm water. Let stand in warm place for 30 minutes to activate yeast.
Braise Pork: Slice pork butt across the grain into strips, 1" by 3" by 1/2" thick.
Heat peanut oil in wok until it begins to smoke.
Add some of pork to hot oil and stir-fry pieces until they lose their pinkness; repeat in batches until all pork is browned.
Next, add garlic to wok; stir briefly. Pour in wine lees paste, rice vinegar, sherry and stock; bring to slow boil; add pork slices.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove pork, without sauce, to large platter.
Cool pork. Cooling is essential so that it will deep-fry properly.
Reserve sauce in small pan.
Deep-fry Pork: Heat deep-frying oil. While oil is heating, beat egg yolks with water; set out bread crumbs on platter.
Dip pork pieces in egg mixture, then bread crumbs, to thoroughly cover.
When oil is at deep-frying temperature, 375 degrees, slip in a slice of pork as a test: pork should lightly brown in about 1 minute.
Place 6 pork slices on Chinese strainer, and lower into oil, strainer and all. Check in 2 minutes.
Remove fried pork to warm platter, uncovered.
Reheat sauce, and pour over pork just before serving.
