Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork shoulder (or pork loin)
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves

- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Water

Directions
Step 1
Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices or bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely and keep ready.

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and set aside.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it (about 1-2 minutes).

Step 7
Sprinkle the ground black pepper evenly over the pork and mix well to coat.

Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and stir constantly to coat the pork evenly. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
