How to make fried meat with five spices and spicy garlic butter sauce

• 1

  Prepare the pork

  After purchasing the meat, soak it in saltwater, and use your hands to rub the entire piece of meat to remove all blood and dirt, helping to reduce the unpleasant smell of the meat.

  Rinse with clean water and let it drain while waiting to be processed.

  How to clean meat effectively to avoid unpleasant odors

  • For the pork, you need to scrape off any hair on the skin, or you can ask the seller to do it for you to save time.
  • Soak the pork in diluted saltwater for about 15 minutes. After soaking, rinse it thoroughly with cold water about 3 – 4 times.
  • You can also use a mixture of salt and vinegar to wash the pork, which helps eliminate the unpleasant smell even better!

  Marinate the meat

  Clean the pork and marinate it with 1/2 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder.

  Use your hands to mix and gently massage the meat to evenly absorb the spices for about 30 minutes.

  Frying the meat

  Take the piece of meat and put it into the hot oil pan, fry on low heat until golden brown on both sides, then remove and let it drain.

  Tip for crispy fried meat without oil splatter

  • Wait for the oil to heat up well before putting the meat in to fry on low heat; when one side is golden brown, flip the meat and continue frying until the other side is golden brown.
  • When both sides turn a beautiful golden color, increase the heat and turn quickly to fry both sides evenly and then quickly remove. This helps the meat to be crispy and absorb less oil.
  • You can add a little salt or a few chili peppers into the oil pan; this is a small tip to prevent oil splatter while frying that you can try.

  Making garlic butter sauce

  Add butter to a hot pan, stir well until the butter melts, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

  Add minced chili, continue to stir well, then add all the sliced meat and mix well over low heat.

  Here’s a tip: You should stir frequently on low heat for the meat to absorb the garlic butter sauce evenly; when the sauce thickens, you can turn off the heat.
