Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin

- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 6 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 stalks (sliced for garnish) Green onions
Directions
Step 1
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the pork. Mix well to coat and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, chicken or vegetable stock, oyster sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the marinated pork to the skillet in batches and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet and bring it to a simmer.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the sauce to thicken it. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the garlic sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Step 10
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
