You will need :- 12 oz. belly of pork 2 oz. plain flour 1 tablespoon oil 1 egg white 2¾ oz. tin frozen orange juice 1 tablespoon brown sugar 3 tablespoons vinegar 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 fresh orange salt and pepper 2 teaspoons corn flour 10-12 oz. boiled long grain rice
Preparation Time :- 20 minutes
Cooking Time :- 20 minutes
Remove rind from pork and cut flesh into neat cubes. Mix flour, oil and 5 tablespoons water to a smooth paste. Season to taste. Whisk egg white until stiff and fold into the flour mixture using a metal spoon. Dip each piece of pork in batter and fry in hot, deep fat for a few minutes until golden brown and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
Put orange juice, sugar, vinegar and soy sauce into a small pan. Heat gently, adding enough water to make up to ½ pint. Thickly peel orange, cut into segments and add to the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix corn flour to a smooth paste with a little cold water, add to the sauce and bring to the boil, stirring until thickened. Pile pork into a bowl., pour sauce over and serve with a bowl of plain boiled rice and chutney. Serves 4.
Quick Tip
After cooking rice, place in a colander and pour hot water over to separate and loosen the grains. If the pork and sauce is not quite ready, put the rice on a dish in the oven to keep hot.
