將排骨事先炸酥，不僅能提味增香，同時也能創造柔嫩多汁、更具咬勁的口感！
Pre-deep-fry pork ribs may enhance the flavor, and create their tender, moist, chewy mouthfeel.
Step 1 挑選排骨部位
並不是每種排骨都適合油炸料理，挑選時，宜選里肌排、子排及梅花排等排骨肉質較軟嫩且容易熟透的部位，才能在較短時間內快速烹調完成。
Step 2 油量一定要多
如果是分切成小塊的排骨，為了使食材均勻熟成，體積不要太大且每塊大小要盡量一樣。此外，鍋中的熱油至少要能淹過炸物，最好是食材的3～4倍。油量多能產生較大浮力及熱量，防止食物一加入就沉到鍋底，粉漿也能盡快定型、不易脫落，食材間也不會相互沾黏。若一次油炸的食物分量比較多，最好分次放入鍋內油炸。
Step 3 油溫熱度要夠
要炸出好吃排骨，火候絕對是重要關鍵。根據食材體積、用途不同，油溫也不一樣。
Step 4 外酥內嫩技巧
分切成條狀、小塊或片狀的排骨，維持中火油炸，看到外表已成金黃色就可離鍋。如果喜歡更酥脆的口感，就待鍋中炸油再次滾沸，將食材放入再炸幾秒鐘、立即撈出。
至於形狀較大的整塊肉排，需要較長的加熱時間，才能受熱均勻。先以高溫小火狀態炸3～4分鐘，也可暫時熄火讓豬排泡浸在熱油中使其內外俱熟，撈出後再以大火拉高油溫回炸半分鐘。不但可逼出多餘油脂，也因為受熱程度的差別，就能做出外皮香脆、內裡酥嫩的炸豬排了。
Step 1 Selection of pork ribs
Not each pork rib is good for deep-frying. Pork tenderloin ribs, belly ribs, and pork butt are tender and easy to be cooked. Therefore, they are suitable for deep-frying method.
Step 2 A large amount of oil
If pork ribs are going to be cut into cube-like shape, then consider the size. Even and suitable size results from rare to well-done. Moreover, the amount of oil should be enough to submerge food items and can be three or four times of food items. A large amount of oil is able to let food items float on the surface of oil, providing enough heat to prevent food items from sinking in the bottom of wok, ensuring the coating attaches to pork ribs can be fixed without falling apart, and preventing food items from sticking each other. If food items to be fried are in large amount, fry in small batch is better than put too much food in the oil all at once.
Step 3 Appropriate oil temperature
Oil temperature extremely affects the quality of deep fried pork ribs.
Oil temperature may vary from the size of ingredients to the purpose of ingredients.
Step 4 Techniques for making pork ribs crispy on outside, tender inside
Pork ribs that are cut into strip shape, cube shape or slice shape should be deep fried over medium heat until they are golden brown. If crispness is an issue, deep fry pork ribs twice may help. Toss the deep fried pork ribs back to the oil once the oil is boiling again, deep fry for few seconds and drain.
For a big pork chop, it needs a large amount of time to cook so as to be heated evenly. When deep frying a big pork chop, deep fry over low heat for 3-4 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pork soak in the hot oil allowing it to be fully cooked. Remove the pork chop from the oil and drain. Heat up the oil again to high temperature and deep fry the pork chop for 30 seconds. Because of different heating effect, it can not only help liminate the extra oil of pork chop but make the texture crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
