Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Fermented black beans, rinsed and chopped
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground pork to the wok and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the fermented black beans and cook for another minute, ensuring they are well combined with the pork.
Pour in the chicken stock, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the beaten eggs into the sauce, stirring gently to create silky ribbons.
Season the sauce with salt and white pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately over steamed white rice or with seafood of your choice.
