Ingredients

• 450 grams pork tenderloin
• 30 grams fresh ginger
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 stalks spring onions (scallions)
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 red chili (optional, for spice)
• 4 servings rice or noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the pork tenderloin into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

Peel and finely slice the fresh ginger into thin matchsticks or small pieces.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Finely slice the spring onions (scallions), separating the white parts from the green parts.

Step 5

If using, finely slice the red chili for a spicy kick.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed and set aside.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add the sliced ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.

Step 9

Add the garlic and the white parts of the spring onions (and chili, if using) to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, being careful not to let the garlic burn.

Step 10

Add the sliced pork to the wok and stir-fry until the pork is browned and just cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 11

Pour the prepared sauce over the pork and stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.

Step 12

Remove the wok from the heat and garnish the dish with the green parts of the spring onions.

Step 13

Serve immediately with steamed rice or cooked noodles.
