Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin
- 30 grams Fresh ginger
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips against the grain and place them in a mixing bowl.
Grate or mince the ginger and garlic. Set aside.
In the mixing bowl with the pork, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, and half of the minced garlic and ginger. Mix well and marinate for 10 minutes.
While the pork marinates, chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces and set them aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the remaining ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the marinated pork to the skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 1-2 minutes to develop a slight sear.
Stir-fry the pork for another 3-4 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Add the green onions, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 1 more minute.
If the sauce is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time to adjust the consistency.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
