Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips about 5 cm long and place in a medium bowl.
In the bowl with the pork, add 30 ml soy sauce, 10 grams of cornstarch, and 5 ml sesame oil. Mix well to coat the pork evenly, then set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse thoroughly. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Slice scallions if using for garnish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 30 ml soy sauce, oyster sauce, 10 ml sesame oil, and 120 ml water to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 15 ml of vegetable oil, and once hot, add the marinated pork. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned but not fully cooked. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 15 ml of vegetable oil to the pan and heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautΓ©ing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the broccoli to the pan. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the pork to the pan and pour in the stir fry sauce. Stir everything well to coat and let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sliced scallions, if desired.
