Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the cornstarch, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, plum sauce, water, sugar, and sesame oil.

5. Remove the pork from the oil with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

6. In a small bowl, mix together the plum sauce, sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
