[Korean] Fried Breaded Pork 2

Fried Breaded Pork version.2 (serves 2)
 Korean name : qubuhroo 2



Ingredients [click here for details]
1 lb pork sirloin
1 cup sweet rice flour
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup canola oil
2 Tbsp Soy sauce
2Tbsp Vinegar
3Tbsp sugar
2 green onions, sliced into long thing strips
1 tsp ground pepper
a pinch of salt
a little bit of black sesame seeds for garnish 


Cooking Instruction

1. Slice pork sirloin into pieces with 0.1 inch width. It is easier to cut meat thinly when it is slightly frozen than when completely thawed.
 If you desire, cut off fat.
 Cut meat into 2*3 inch pieces.


2. Marinate meat in 1/2 cup of  rice cooking wine, and 1 tsp of pepper.
   Mix well and leave it for 30 minutes.


3. While meat is marinated, in a big bowl, put 1 cup of sweet rice flour and a pinch of salt.
Pour 2/3 cup of water in it, and stir well.


4. Put a piece of cling wrap over the bowl and poke a little hole in it for ventilation.
Microwave for 2 minutes.
After stirring, microwave for another 2 minutes.


5. Pour oil on a cutting board. Pour rice dough while hot.
Oil a piece of cling wrap completely, cover rice dough with it.
Roll rice flour into a thin sheet.



6. Cover marinated meat with rice dough piece.


7. Put corn starch on the both sides of rice cake meat.


8.Drop a little bit of water on corn starch so it can stick well on rice cake meat.


9. You can either fry on a stove top using canola oil, or bake it with a little bit of oil in the oven at 375 F for 15 minutes. If fried, the meat is crispy, while baked meat is chewy.


10. Put 2Tbsp of Soy Sauce, 2Tbsp of vinegar, and 3 Tbsp of sugar in a sauce pan.

11. Heat it with low fire till the sauce reduces ans becomes thicker.
When you stir it with spatula, the track should remain for a while, as shown in the picture.



How to Serve 
Mix meat with the sauce. Slice 2 green onions into thin long strips.  Put green onion and black sesame seeds on the top of meat.

Fresh sweet onion slices goes well with this dish.
Ssam-radish (Cold sweet and sour big Korean radish) would be good with this dish. (I'll post this recipe later.)



How to Eat
Eat meat and green onion strips at the same time.

It would be even better when adding ssam-radish (cold sweet and sour Korean radish).
