Method

Cook

15min

Cut the courgette into large wedges.

Dredge evenly with cornstarch.

Deep fry in 160-180C oil for 60-90 seconds.This makes the outside crispy but the inside soft and fluffy.

Put some oil in a frying pan and fry the minced pork. When it's nice and brown, add the seasonings.

Add the Tianmenjiang and chilli bean sauce. Fry together well - this is an important step.

Add the sake, soy sauce, sugar and pepper and continue to fry.

Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Add the finely chopped leek and the potato starch to thicken.

Add the fried courgettes and mix well. Turn off the heat and drizzle with vinegar. Mix well and serve.
