Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork loin
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Thinly slice the pork loin into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 mm thick. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Add the pork slices to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
After marinating, dust the pork slices lightly with the cornstarch to create a thin coating. This will help lock in moisture and create a silky texture during cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil to coat the pan evenly.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the pork slices to the hot pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
If the pan is dry, add a touch more oil. Once hot, return all the cooked pork slices to the pan and pour in any remaining marinade for a quick glaze (optional). Stir well to coat.
Transfer the pork slices to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
