Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork loin, thinly sliced
- 300 grams Green beans, trimmed
- 100 grams Cashews, unsalted
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and 3 tablespoons of water. Mix well and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the cashews and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced pork to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork and set aside.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender. You may add a splash of water to help steam them if needed.
Return the pork to the skillet, along with the toasted cashews.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork, green beans, and cashews. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the ingredients.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
