warningStay safe

Be careful when handling the sharp knife near your hands to avoid accidental cuts.

Take 2 pork chops (about 400g). Lightly pound both sides with the back of a knife to tenderize, then use the knife tip to pierce and cut through the edge tendons so they do not curl when fried.

Watch out

Keep the pounding force even. Hold the knife steadily when piercing tendons, and avoid slicing deep into the meat.

Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw pork and raw eggs to prevent cross-contamination.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and beat well. Add 15ml oyster sauce, 15ml light soy sauce, 2g salt, 2g sugar, 2g black pepper, and 15g cornstarch. Mix into a smooth marinade. Add the pork chops, massage thoroughly, and marinate for 2 hours.

Ensure pork chops are thoroughly massaged with sauce and marinated for at least 2 hours, otherwise the inside will lack flavor and remain tough.

Watch out for hot oil splatters when tossing the wok over high heat.

Heat a wok with 10ml oil over high heat. Pour in the egg yolk rice, press flat, and cook undisturbed for 10 seconds. Flip and repeat pressing. Once grains separate, pour in the reserved egg whites and toss quickly. Season with 1g salt and 1g white pepper, toss evenly, and transfer to a baking dish.

Be careful of hot oil splatters while frying, and use tongs to hold the hot pork chops when slicing.

Heat 20ml oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip the flour-coated pork chops into the beaten egg, then place immediately into the hot oil. Pan-fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain oil and slice into thick strips.
