Directions
Cut pork into thin slices about 2x2cm wide. They must be grabbable with chopsticks.
Mix starch with water into thick cream-like batter. Coat pork slices, massage the batter into the meat. Marinate for 30 minutes. Massage it from time to time
Heat the oil. Fry pork in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Mix 2 tbsp starch with 1 cup cold water.
In a deep pan, combine tomato paste, sugar, and a splash (not more) of water. Cook on high heat, stir until bubbly.
When the tomato-sugar mix boils, add vinegar and starch slurry. Stir until thickened a little.
Toss fried pork. Stir. Add carrot in a bit. Fry until sauce clings to the pork and caramelizes slightly.
