Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 300 grams (10.6 ounces) pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 200 grams (7 ounces) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- Green onions for garnish
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and set aside for later use.
- Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add vegetable oil, ensuring it coats the entire cooking surface.
- Quickly sauté minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, releasing their aromatic essence without burning.
- Introduce pork slices to the hot pan, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until they develop a light golden-brown exterior. Season with salt and pepper during cooking.
- Incorporate sliced mushrooms and onions into the pan, continuing to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften and release their moisture.
- Drizzle the prepared sauce over the meat and vegetables, tossing thoroughly to ensure even coating. Add water and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken.
- Once the sauce reaches a glossy, clingy consistency, sprinkle freshly chopped green onions on top and serve immediately alongside steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- Tenderize pork by slicing against the grain and marinating briefly in a mixture of cornstarch and soy sauce for extra softness and flavor absorption.
- Select mushroom varieties like shiitake or oyster for deeper umami notes that complement the pork’s rich taste.
- Keep ingredients at room temperature before cooking to ensure even and quick stir-frying, preventing uneven cooking and maintaining meat’s juiciness.
- For a low-carb version, replace rice with cauliflower rice or serve over zucchini noodles, maintaining the dish’s delicious essence while reducing carbohydrate content.
