Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, cornstarch, Shaoxing wine, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add your sliced pork tenderloin to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine all the Peking sauce ingredients and stir well until everything is blended.
  4. Pour about 2 cups of oil into a deep frying pan and heat it over medium-high heat.
  5. Carefully place the marinated pork slices into the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. Once crispy, remove the pork slices from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
  7. Drizzle your homemade Peking sauce generously over the fried pork, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
