2 SERVING
Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp. Cooking Oil
  • 1 1/3 lb. Pork Shoulder
  • 1 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Medium Onion, diced
  • 1 Medium Tomato, diced
  • 1 tbsp. Tomato Paste
  • 1 cup Red Wine
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Light Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp. Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tsp. Five Spice Powder
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tbsp. Maggi Seasoning
  • 1 qt. Water
  • 1 Spring Rosemary
  • 1 Spring Thyme
  • Crispy Coating
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
Directions:
1
In a medium cast iron pot over medium heat, pour in oil. When oil is hot, turn on high heat and fry the pork for 3-4 minutes on all sides until the surface is browned.
2
Then add black pepper, garlic, onion, tomato, tomato paste, red wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, five spice powder, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, Maggi seasoning, and water. When it comes to a boil, add rosemary and thyme. Cover and simmer for 2-2.5 hours over medium-low heat.
3
Make the batter: In a small-medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the flour and whisk to form a batter.
4
In a baking sheet with rack, transfer the meat and place it on the rack. Drizzle with batter, and bake in the preheated oven at 350°F/180°C for 15 minutes.
5
Take it out of the oven and let the meat rest for between 10-15 minutes, before slicing, which will preserve the juices. Slice it according to personal preference. Serve with lettuce, a little diced onion and tomatoes, and the stew gravy. Enjoy!
