- 2 egg whites
- 2 heaped tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2-2 cup extra light olive oil
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Combine the egg whites with the salt and cornstarch. Make sure all the cornstarch is dissolved and evenly distributed. | |
| Step 2 | |

I don’t know what got into me to make this. I tend to not like fried foods, but for some reason I saw a Chinese pork stir fry recipe that used this egg white and cornstarch mixture. I immediately thought of a Chinese appetizer that I had stuck in my head.
So, this is what I came up with and my husband loved it. I think he ate half of these on his own.
I hope you like it. Enjoy!
