Instructions
1
Prepare the pork chops
Cut the pork chops into 15 cm wide strips of even thickness, making sure each strip carries a piece of bone.
2
Marinate and coat
Place the pork bone strips in a bowl, add the Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, MSG, dry starch, and beaten egg, and knead everything together evenly by hand.
3
Deep-fry
Heat a wok over high heat and pour in the oil. Bring it up to about 80 percent hot, then drop in the pork bones, spreading them out in all directions so they do not stick together. Once all the pieces are in, use a slotted spoon to turn them and fry until they turn golden brown and float to the surface.
