Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Pork loin or shoulder (thinly sliced)
- 20 g Fresh ginger (finely chopped or julienned)
- 4 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 pieces Red chillies (sliced, adjust to taste)
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 0.5 tsp White or black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Spring onions (chopped, for garnish)
- Cooked rice or noodles (to serve)
Instructions
Start by preparing the pork: slice the meat thinly across the grain and place in a bowl.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon soy sauce with the cornstarch and pour this over the pork slices. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the marinated pork to the hot pan in batches (to avoid overcrowding) and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the pork is just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the ginger, garlic, and chillies, and stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the pork to the pan and stir everything together.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white or black pepper. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the pork is well-coated in the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch of salt or extra chilli for heat.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions.
Serve the pork hot over steamed rice or your choice of noodles.
