  • Hi everybody !

  • Today, let's make party food ! Let's have a party !

  • When you have a party, you give food. Without food, it's boring boring !

  • So, today, we're going to make Tangsuyuk !

  • Tangsuyuk is crispy pork, in a sweet and sour sauce, made with fruits and colorfull vegetables.

  • You can use beef, chicken or pork.

  • Are you vegetarian ?

  • Don't be disappointed !

  • You can use shiitake mushrooms !

  • So i just salted this shiitake mushrooms for a few hours, now it's really plump !

  • We need to make this very crunchy crunchy !

  • So 1 pound of pork, i'm going to cut it into thin slices.

  • Shoulder part, should not be too much fatty.

  • So all like lean cut.

  • First, slice thinly.

  • Look like this size, thin.

  • And then, let's season.

  • Ginger, half a teaspoon amount.

  • Then, half teaspoon salt.

  • And then cover.

  • So I'm going to keep in the refrigerator while I'm preparing other ingredients.

  • I'm going to make very crunchy crunchy batter.

  • With this potato starch.

  • We need one cup.

  • Doesn't matter how much water actually you can add

  • But I use 3 cups.

  • So well mix this.

  • This starch is heavier than water, it's going to sink soon.

  • And it will take one and half hours.

  • This is going to sink, like this.

  • And also, we need to soak one more item.

  • This is wood ear mushrooms.

  • When soaked, it's really plump and very springy.

  • This looks like a real leaf, like an ear. (laughs)

  • And shiitake mushrooms.

  • If you make tangsuyuk with shiitake mushrooms, well soaked, make it really soft like this

  • cut into quarters.

  • Like really cute hmm

  • And then here, just a little salt.

  • Just like the pork we did.

  • I'm going to fry my pork, and then let's heat up the oil first.

  • 4 cups of corn oil I'm using

  • In this pork, we are going to add 2 tablespoons of starch.

  • Then, well mix this.

  • The reason I'm doing this, is so that the hot oil is not going to be splashed.

  • Also, easily, we can coat easily with the batter.

  • Just a little bit.

  • I'm going to pour out the water.

  • When you poke this, this is like mud.

  • Really hard.

  • So this is the key point that you make really crispy batter.

  • Let's add one egg white.

  • And then, mix this.

  • And let's also do this shiitake mushrooms too.

  • Tangsuyuk is a really popular Korean Chinese food.

  • I learnt how to make this tansuyuk batter years ago when I lived in Korea.

  • One of my friends invited me to her house

  • She made us some tangsuyuk.

  • So crunchy crunchy, and so delicious.

  • I asked her, how did you make this batter?

  • Because all the time I make this, I never used this method.

  • Like a mixture, and the starch is soft to the bottom.

  • And then pour out the water, I never used this method.

  • But I asked her and she revealed the secret.

  • Ever since then, I always use this method.

  • And it never betrayed me. (laughs)

  • Starch will always sink to the bottom.

  • Before cooking, you gotta mix it again.

  • My oil is hot enough, I think.

  • So, let's fry!

  • And I need this, this and strainer.

  • So, c'mon! I'll show you. :)

  • So I dip this, see it's the right temperature.

  • I'm gonna turn on my vent.

  • And mix again.

  • Turn down the heat, to medium heat.

  • Until light golden brown.

  • It will take 5~6 minutes over medium-high heat.

  • I'm going to all collect on this one, paper towel on my basket.

  • We added this pork, all different time.

  • So, first one is already cooked.

  • Later when we add in this one, is still being cooked.

  • So how can you know is by the colour and crispness.

  • You can feel this with your tongs.

  • It really should be crispy, crunchy

  • Control your heat.

  • My first batch is done.

  • I'm going to strain this here.

  • And then my 2nd batch.

  • With your tongs, split.

  • And then my 1st batch is here.

  • See, light golden brown.

  • And my last batch.

  • Shiitake mushrooms.

  • This is a Shiitake mushroom.

  • Ho my !

  • Light golden brown.

  • We fry the ones.

  • If we have a party in three days,

  • just make this and freeze it.

  • And then when your guests come over

  • you just fry one more time

  • We need to double fry, and double fry makes it really crispy.

  • I'm going to let cool this guys

  • And then, let's make sauce! :)

  • Using your cookie cutter, you can make it pretty.

  • And this one, eat it.

  • And an onion.

  • Just a little bit will do.

  • Wood ear mushrooms.

  • I'll use maybe three.

  • You see there's a stem part around here

  • so you'll have to get rid of that part.

  • Look at that, really looks like somebody's ear.

  • Cute, and really springy.

  • Small amount of apple is enough.

  • We are going to make cucumber really late, last minute.

  • Cucumber, and pineapple.

  • I'm going to cut this thinly.

  • I'm using canned pineapple but you can use fresh pineapple too.

  • 2 tablespoons potato starch.

  • And add 2 tablespoons water.

  • So we make starch water, or starchy water.

  • This starch water is going to be added to thicken the sauce later.

  • So now pan is heated, 1 teaspoon cooking oil.

  • mushrooms, oignon and carrots.

  • Then let's add apple.

  • We need to make sweet, so sugar.

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar.

  • Or apple vinegar.

  • For colour, some soy sauce, half a teaspoon.

  • Salt, one teaspoon.

  • And well mix.

  • The sauce is boiling now.

  • And let's mix this mixture again.

  • Just pour this.

  • Low heat.

  • While my sauce is cooking, let's fry this pork the 2nd time.

  • So 2nd time when you cook,

  • it can be really crowded a little, doesn't matter.

  • Turn off the heat.

  • So pineapple and cucumber.

  • Add sesame oil.

  • See, cucumber is a really beautiful green colour now.

  • And remove from the heat.

  • Let me taste it.

  • + Sauce

  • Mmm~

  • Crunchy pork is coated with the sticky sweet sour sauce.

  • This is exactly what people want from tangsuyuk, that texture.

  • And crunchiness.

  • And when you chew this, outside is very crunchy, inside is like I'm chewing a rice cake.

  • Delicious.

  • Today, we made tangsuyuk, sweet and sour pork.

  • This is one of those Koreanised Chinese dishes.

  • Korean people love tangsuyuk.

  • Enjoy my recipe, see you next time. Bye~~
