Instructions

Poke small holes all over the pork belly slices with a fork. Mix them with soy sauce, oyster sauce and rice wine, and leave to marinate while you make the batter.
In a bowl, whisk the cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, egg, 1 tablespoon cooking oil and ¾ cup water until smooth.
Add the marinated pork to the batter and mix until every slice is evenly coated.
Heat the cooking oil in a pan over high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the pork for about 2 minutes per side until golden and crisp, until the inside reaches at least 145°F (63°C). Remove and drain.
While still hot, slice into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with the salt, white pepper and paprika. Serve immediately.
