Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork loin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 50 grams unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 50 milliliters water
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 piece red chili (optional)
- 4 servings rice or noodles (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the pork loin into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) and season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and peanut butter. Set aside.
Finely mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and chop the scallions. If using a red chili for spice, slice it thinly.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high, add the pork strips, and stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes until fully cooked and slightly browned.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring to coat the pork evenly.
Add the water to thin the sauce slightly and toss in the roasted peanuts. Stir well to combine.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Turn off the heat and garnish with scallions and chili slices if desired.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
