Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams pork tenderloin
- 500 grams Chinese cabbage
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 red chili (optional)
- 2 green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin, bite-sized strips and place them in a bowl.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon soy sauce, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water. Pour this marinade over the pork, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
While the pork marinates, wash and chop the Chinese cabbage into bite-sized pieces, separating the leafy parts from the thicker stems.
Mince the garlic, finely chop the ginger, and slice the red chili (if using). Chop the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of water. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated pork to the hot wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until it is no longer pink. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add the garlic, ginger, white parts of the green onions, and red chili (if using). Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the thicker stem pieces of the Chinese cabbage to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the leafy parts. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the wok and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
Season with salt and white pepper, then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes to combine and heat through.
Remove from heat, garnish with the green parts of the green onions, and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
