Note
For extra crispiness, you can coat the pork in a light layer of cornstarch before frying.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crunchiness.
Adjust seasoning based on personal preference; consider adding chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Ensure oil is hot enough before adding pork to prevent sticking and achieve proper browning.
