First of all, we will wash the five-flower meat, cut into slices or strips, and put it into a bowl. Inside the bowl, pour in the right amount of cooking wine, salt, five-spice powder and soy sauce, make a marinade, pour it into the sliced meat and mix it well with your hands, let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes, so that the meat is fully flavored.
The next step is to hang the batter. First we have to make a batter and this step is important. Prepare a basin, in which to beat an egg and add a little water, stir vigorously into the egg mixture, continue to add 1:1 flour and starch, stirring to form a batter that is not too thin and not too thick. The flour acts as a softener, while the starch acts as a fixer. It's best to use sweet potato starch for the starch, as the crispy meat fried with it is not only crunchy, but also sweeter.
Put the marinated meat into the batter and mix well to coat it evenly.
Heat the oil in a pan to 60%, put the meat slices in one by one, and fry them slowly over medium-low heat, then shape them and take them out of the pan. When dry food and then re-fried again, fried golden, crispy and delicious crispy meat is complete.
Cooking tips:
The best choice of starch is sweet potato starch, which has a strong adhesive force, and the fried crispy meat is especially crispy and sweet.
