Crispy Fried Pork with Curry

Method

1. 1 Cut the pork into 1 cm thick slices, tenderize it, and marinate it with curry powder, garlic, and fish sauce for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Roll the meat in cornstarch, dip it in egg, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly so the coating adheres completely.
3. 3 Let the meat rest for 10 minutes so the flour coating becomes moist again and doesn't peel off when it comes into contact with oil.
4. 4 Fry in oil at 170 degrees for 5 minutes until lightly golden, then remove and let drain for 3 minutes.
5. 5 Fry a second time at 190 degrees for 60 seconds to make the crust crispy for longer, then sprinkle with pepper and cut into strips.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 30 min

  Replace steps 4-5: spray oil evenly over the batter and bake at 200 degrees for 16 minutes, flipping at minute 9; the crust will be crispy but lighter in color than deep-fried.
