Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g pork loin or chicken breast (sliced thinly)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
- 2 stalks spring onions (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 piece red chili (optional, sliced)
- 3 tbsp water
- 4 cups cooked rice (for serving, optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the ingredients: Thinly slice the pork loin or chicken breast, mince the garlic, and slice the spring onions and optional red chili.
2. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, ground black pepper, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
3. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooking oil.
4. Add the minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
5. Increase the heat to high and add the sliced pork or chicken to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the meat is cooked through and lightly browned.
6. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce into the wok and toss to coat the meat evenly. Let the sauce cook and thicken slightly for 1-2 minutes.
7. Add the spring onions and optional red chili slices to the wok. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still vibrant.
8. Remove the wok from the heat and transfer the stir-fried garlic pork or chicken to a serving plate.
9. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles on the side, if desired.
