Ingredients

3/4 pound pork boneless
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce, light
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small green bell pepper
1 small sweet red bell pepper
1 each carrot
2 each scallions, spring or green onions
1 each egg beaten
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups vegetable oil
3 ounces lychee
Sauce
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce, light
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water

Directions

CUT PORK INTO 1-INCH cubes; put into a bowl with the rice wine or sherry, soy sauce and salt.

Marinate for 20 minutes.

Cut the green and red peppers into 1-inch squares.

Peel and cut the carrot and scallions into 1-inch chunks.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the carrot in it for 4 minutes; drain and set aside.

Mix the egg and cornstarch in a bowl until they are well blended into a batter.

Lift the pork cubes out of the marinade, put them into the batter and coat each piece well.

Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer or large wok until it is almost smoking.

Remove the pork pieces from the batter with a slotted spoon, and deep-fry them.

Drain the deep-fried pork cubes on paper towels.

Combine the chicken stock, soy sauce, salt, vinegar, sugar and tomato paste in a large saucepan.

Bring it to a boil. Add all the vegetables, but not the lychees or oranges, and stir well.

In a small bowl, blend together the cornstarch and water.

Stir this mixture into the sauce and bring it back to a boil.

Turn the heat down to a simmer. Add lychees or oranges and pork cubes.

Mix well, and then turn the mixture onto a platter.

Serve at once.
