Method:

1. Cut the pork into thin slice. Place them in a basin. Add the spring onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sherry, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix and rub them together with ‘the fingers. Leave to season for 2-3 hours.

2. Mix the batter ingredients together in a separate bowl and dip the seasoned pork slices in the batter. Divide the pork- slices into four lots. Arrange each batch, evenly spread out between two sheets of pork fat, to form a ’sandwich’.

3. Pile the ’sandwiches’ one on top of the other. Place a plate on top to ,flatten and weigh them down.

4. Heat the oil in the deep-fryer. Lower two ’sandwiches’ at a time in a wire basket to fry for 5-6 minutes until brown and, crispy.

5. Drain, and when all the ’sandwiches’ have been fried, put them on a chopping board and chop each piece into four (16 pieces altogether).

6. Arrange them neatly on a well-heated dish, and serve with Aromatic Salt and Pepper Mix.
