Directions

1.     Marinate the Pork

o   In a bowl, mix pork chunks with salt, white pepper, rice wine, and optional garlic/ginger powder.

o   Let marinate for 15–20 minutes.

o   Lightly pat dry before coating to remove excess moisture.

2.     Coat the Pork

o   Lightly coat each piece of pork in cornstarch.

o   Dip into the beaten egg.

o   Roll in crushed Kellogg’s Corn FlakesⓇ cereal, pressing gently to help them adhere.

3.     Bake the Pork

o   Preheat oven to 200°C / 392°F

o   Place the coated pork in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.

o   Lightly spray or brush with oil.

o   Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

4.     Make the Sweet & Sour Sauce

o   Combine ketchup, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and water.

o   Stir over medium heat until it begins to bubble.

o   If using, add bell peppers and pineapple and cook for 1 minute.

o   Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens.

5.     Combine & Serve

o   Add the pork to the sauce and toss quickly to coat evenly.

o   Do not overcook at this stage to help maintain the crispy texture.

o   Serve hot with steamed rice.
