Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 6 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 stalks (sliced for garnish) Green onions
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the pork. Mix well to coat and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, chicken or vegetable stock, oyster sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated pork to the skillet in batches and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet and bring it to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the sauce to thicken it. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the garlic sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
