thai pork (foodie fridays)

thai pork is a family recipe. i have no idea where my mom got the recipe, but she's passed it on and it is delicious. it tastes like take-out, minus all the m.s.g. and questionable meat sources. ha! i used to dip each and every piece of pork in the egg and then in the cornstarch and it took foooorever. i've recently adapted it with a "shake & bake" approach; mix up the eggs in a bowl, toss the pork in a stir to coat, put it in a bag and throw some cornstarch in. close up the bag (make sure there's some air in there) and shake! it should we well coated but not overloaded. i also find i usually use more than 3 T of corn starch, but just eyeball it.
