Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 medium-sized carrots, julienned
- 200 grams snow peas, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 60 milliliters chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper (optional)
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Add the pork strips to this mixture and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the pork is just cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, along with the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Then, add the snow peas and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth, and sesame oil. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of white pepper if desired.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve hot over steamed rice or enjoy as is.
