Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Pork tenderloin
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Oyster sauce
- 15 ml Hoisin sauce
- 15 ml Sesame oil
- 15 ml Rice vinegar
- 10 g Fresh ginger
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 10 g Brown sugar
- 10 g Cornstarch
- 30 ml Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Spring onions
- 5 g Sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1 cm wide, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Add the pork strips to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).
4. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, then set aside.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
6. Add the marinated pork strips to the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
7. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining marinade to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
8. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce is glossy and coats the pork strips.
9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds.
10. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, or alongside stir-fried vegetables.
