1/2 tsp groundblack pepper
Vegetable oil, to deep fry
50g (1/3 cup) plain flour
9.20 gm vegetable oil, extra
1brown onion, thinly sliced
1tomato, cut into wedges
2green shallots, trimmed, green and white parts cut into 4cm batons
100g (1/2 cup) brown sugar, firmly packed
80ml (1/3 cup) pineapple juice
60ml (1/4 cup) rice vinegar

1/4 tsp Chinese five spice
5.00 gm cornflour

Instructions:
Combine the pork belly, soy sauce, garlic, and pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, juice, rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and Chinese five spice. Simmer for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the cornflour and water. Pour the mixture into the saucepan and let it simmer for 2 minutes until it slightly thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Fill a wok one-third full with oil and heat over high heat until it reaches 180C. Toss pork in plain flour and cook in batches for 4 minutes each or until golden brown. Drain cooked pork on paper towel.
Discard excess oil from wok and wipe with paper towel. Heat more oil in wok on high. Stir-fry onion for 1 minute. Add tomato and shallot.
Stir-fry the vegetables until tender crisp, then add back the pork and pour the sauce over. Toss to coat everything. Serve warm.
