Pour corn starch into Ziploc bag, zip closed and shake until pork is evenly coated with cornstarch.

Carefully add pork a few pieces at a time to hot oil, let cook for 2-3 minutes, remove and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat until all pork has been cooked in oil.
Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and spread crispy pork in the bottom.
