1. Freeze the meat for 20 minutes then thinly slice into 1/8 inch thick slices and pound or tenderize them with a meat mallet in all directions
2. Whisk together marinade in a bowl and transfer to a ziplock bag along with the thinly sliced meat. Marinate for 1 to 8 hours
3. Meanwhile, combine the dipping sauce ingredients into a small bowl.
4. Place flour in a shallow plate and in a second shallow dish or bowl beat the eggs. 
5. In a large skillet, heat 1/4-inch of oil over medium low heat
