  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp potato flour (or corn flour)
  • All-purpose flour, as needed
  • Cooking oil, for deep frying
  • 250 g tomato, chopped

Instructions

  1. Marinate pork belly with sugar, salt, cooking oil, and egg. Mix well and let sit for at least 15 minutes.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double fry the pork belly. Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the sauce to your taste by varying the amount of sugar and ketchup. Serve with steamed rice for a complete meal.
