Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 8 oz Sugar snap peas
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips about 1/4-inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Set aside as the stir-fry sauce.
Rinse sugar snap peas thoroughly, trim the ends, and remove any tough strings.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork strips to the wok in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and just cooked through. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sugar snap peas to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the wok and pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the pork and peas.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry, give it a final toss, and remove the wok from the heat.
Transfer the stir-fried pork and sugar snap peas to a serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
