Note
For best results, ensure the oil is hot before adding the pork to achieve a crispy exterior.
You can adjust the seasoning by adding a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce to the marinade for extra depth.
Leftover fried pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan to restore crispiness.
If you prefer a lighter version, bake the pork in the oven at 400ðF (200ðC) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
