Ingredients
Instructions
Marinate the Pork Slices
Wash the pork clean and cut into slices about 6 cm long, 4 cm wide, and 0.4 cm thick. Place in a bowl, add soy sauce, five-spice powder, Sichuan peppercorns, fermented tofu juice, sweet rice wine juice, sugar, minced ginger, chopped scallion, cooking wine, and salt. Mix well and marinate until the flavors are absorbed.
Coat and Steam
Once marinated, add rice flour and peas and mix well. Arrange the pork slices at the bottom of a bowl (shaped like a book), place the peas on top, and steam until tender. Remove, invert onto a serving dish, take out the pork slices, and keep the peas warm in the steamer.
Coat and Fry
Beat the eggs and brush onto the pork slices, then coat with breadcrumbs. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown, remove, and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish both ends with the steamed peas and serve with Sichuan pepper salt on the side.
