Ingredients

• 500 grams Pork loin
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the pork loin into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 mm thick. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the pork slices to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 4

After marinating, dust the pork slices lightly with the cornstarch to create a thin coating. This will help lock in moisture and create a silky texture during cooking.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil to coat the pan evenly.

Step 6

Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the pork slices to the hot pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

If the pan is dry, add a touch more oil. Once hot, return all the cooked pork slices to the pan and pour in any remaining marinade for a quick glaze (optional). Stir well to coat.

Step 8

Transfer the pork slices to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
