Tips:

  • To ensure tender pork, opt for thin-sliced or tenderized meat. Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar for at least 30 minutes enhances its flavor.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to accommodate all the ingredients comfortably and allow for even cooking.
  • Heat your cooking oil over high heat to achieve a good sear on the pork and vegetables, ensuring a flavorful stir-fry.
  • Stir-fry the pork in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure it cooks evenly without steaming.
  • Add the vegetables in stages, starting with those that require longer cooking times, such as carrots and bell peppers. Leafy greens like bok choy or spinach can be added towards the end.
  • To create a flavorful sauce, use a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar. Adjust the proportions to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry, made by mixing cornstarch with water, towards the end of cooking. This will help bind the sauce and give it a glossy finish.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately over steamed rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete and satisfying meal.
