Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the filling and batter
Mince the lean pork, then mix it with the chopped scallions, minced ginger, salt, MSG, and a little Sichuan pepper water to make the filling. Mix the flour with water, beat in the egg, and stir in the cornstarch slurry and salt to make a smooth batter.
Wrap and fry
Wrap the meat filling in the pork caul fat and roll it into long strips 2 cm in diameter. Coat the strips in the batter and fry them in moderately hot lard until cooked through, then remove. Once the lard is very hot, return the strips and fry until golden brown, then remove.
Cut and serve
Cut the fried pork into 5 cm lengths and arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with the ground Sichuan pepper. Serve with the sweet bean sauce for dipping and the shredded scallions.
