Chef's Notes
"Hark, noble cooks! The secret to this dish lies not merely in the frying, but in the sacred 24-hour marinade. Do not rush the baking soda and soy sauce bath, for it is the ancient alchemy that transforms humble pork into velvet-textured bites of pure luxury."
Pro Tip
"Listen well, my students: when double-frying your pork, never skip the high-temperature second bath! It drives out any trapped moisture and locks in an armor-like crunch that stands strong even when drenched in glorious sweet and sour nectar."
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to disrespect the double-fry technique or soak the pork in the sauce a second longer than ten pathetic seconds, you will transform my glorious, thunderously crunchy masterpiece into a tragic, soggy bowl of disappointment that not even a starving court jester would touch.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we fry the pork twice, and he told me it's because the first time is for the peasants, and the second is for the taxes.
The Culinary Science
"Behold the wonders of kitchen chemistry! Baking soda alters the pH levels on the surface of the meat, breaking down stubborn protein bonds and preventing them from tightening up aggressively when exposed to the fierce heat of the oil."

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
