Ingredients

• 500 grams Pork tenderloin
• 1 small head (about 600 grams) Green cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onion

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin, then slice it into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and 3 tablespoons of water. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves and ginger. Slice the green onion into 1-inch sections. Shred the cabbage and carrot into thin strips.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the pork is mostly cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, followed by the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.

Step 6

Add the shredded cabbage and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 7

Return the pork to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked and the cabbage is tender.

Step 8

Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with sliced green onion.

Step 9

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