Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 250 grams baby bella mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 150 milliliters chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
Instructions
Clean and slice the baby bella mushrooms into thin slices. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ground pork. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
Return the cooked ground pork to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour it into the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the pork and mushroom mixture hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped scallions if desired.
