2 inch-piece of ginger, crushed, half a carrot sliced very thin, and half an onion sliced very thin
Instructions
Marinate the meat: cut the pork into pieces of 1.5cm, then add the salt, pepper, and garlic, mix well, and put in the fridge for ½h-1h.
Make the sauce: dissolve cornstarch and sugar in chicken broth on low heat. Add vinegar and soy sauce. Bring to a slow boil so the sauce thickens. Take off the heat, and add the other ingredients. Set aside.
Mix the flour, egg and 2 tbsp of water, and knead (I do mean knead, you're going to need your fingers for this, it's fairly thick) until well mixed. Add the meat and mix well (again, your hands are your friends here!). Fry the meat pieces until they're golden (30 minutes or so). Reserve.
In a wok on medium heat, put 2 tablespoons of oil, add the vegetables. Cover and cook for 3-5 min (they should still be crunchy). Uncover, mix meat and vegetables. Add the sauce.
Serve with rice.
