1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt

Method

1 - Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. 2 - Place the pork strips into a bowl with the soy sauce and egg. Mix thoroughly. 3 - In a separate bowl, combine the cornflour, plain flour, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, and chilli flakes. 4 - Add the pork strips and coat thoroughly until every piece is covered. 5 - Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. 6 - Arrange the pork strips in a single layer and spray the tops lightly with oil. 7 - Air fry at 200°C for 12–14 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden, crisp, and cooked through. 8 - Add the onion, pepper, garlic, and chilli to the basket during the final 3 minutes. 9 - Once cooked, toss everything together with the spring onions. 10 - Serve immediately while still crunchy and piping hot.

Lad Tip: White pepper is what gives proper salt-and-pepper dishes their takeaway-shop flavour. Black pepper works, but white pepper is the secret weapon. The second you smell it cooking, you'll know exactly why every Chinese takeaway uses it.
