    # Ingredients

    * 12 oz **pork, sliced into thin strips**
    * 2 cloves **garlic**, minced
    * ½ tbsp **oyster sauce**
    * ½ tbsp **light soy sauce**
    * ¼ tsp **dark soy sauce**, optional
    * 1 tsp **sugar**
    * 1 tbsp **tempura flour**
    * 1 tbsp **cold water**
    * **oil**, as needed for deep-frying

    # Instructions

    **1. Marinate the pork.** Add the sliced pork to a bowl with oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and dark soy sauce (if using). Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.

    **2. Coat the pork.** Sprinkle the tempura flour over the pork. Add about 1 tablespoon cold water and mix until lightly coated. The coating should be thin, not a thick batter.

    **3. Heat the oil.** Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until hot. The pork should sizzle immediately when added.

    **4. Fry in batches.** Add the pork in batches without overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.

    **5. Drain and rest.** Remove the pork and drain on a rack or paper towels. Let it rest briefly to crisp up.

    **6. Serve.** Serve hot with rice and your favorite dipping sauce
