- Blanch the pork in boiling water for 30 seconds and drain well. Coat the pork in cornflour and set aside.
- In a small bowl, make the sauce by mixing together the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, salt and Szechuan peppercorns. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Gently drop the pork into the oil, one piece at a time. Deep-fry each piece until lightly golden. Transfer the pork onto a plate.
- Heat the oil in the wok to high. Add the pork back into the wok and deep-fry until golden brown. Remove from the wok and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Drain the oil from the wok, reserving about 2 tablespoons. Heat the oil until hot, add the ginger, garlic and spring onion and stir fry until aromatic.
- Add the pork back into the wok and stir well. Pour the sauce into the wok and stir until the pork is coated evenly. Serve.
