Pork stir fry with green onion is a quick, delicious, and healthy meal that's perfect for any night of the week. This recipe combines tender pork fillet with the fresh flavors of green onion and garlic, all brought together with a savory mix of soy sauce and sesame oil. Let's get cooking!
Instructions:
- Thinly slice the pork fillet into bite-sized strips.
- Separate the green onions into white and green parts. Slice both thinly and keep them separate.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Mix the cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water to make a slurry. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced pork with 1 tbsp soy sauce and the sugar. Stir well to coat the pork evenly. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Heat 2 tbsp of peanut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork strips.
- Stir fry the pork for about 4-5 minutes until it is fully cooked and caramelized. Remove the pork from the wok and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same wok, add the remaining 2 tbsp of peanut oil.
- Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Stir fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the cooked pork to the wok with the garlic and white onions.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of soy sauce and the cornstarch slurry. Stir well to coat the pork evenly.
- Add the green parts of the green onions to the wok.
- Pour in the 1/2 tsp of sesame oil.
- Toss everything together for another 1-2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
- Remove the wok from heat.
- Transfer the pork stir fry to a serving dish.
- Serve hot, optionally with steamed rice or noodles.
Tips:
- Prepare all your ingredients in advance to ensure smooth cooking, as stir frying happens quickly.
- Slice the pork fillet thin for even cooking and optimum tenderness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and ensure proper searing.
- Use a high-smoke point oil, like peanut oil, to prevent burning and achieve a good stir fry.
- Add the cornstarch to the pork to help thicken the sauce and give the meat a tender texture.
Pork stir fry with green onion is a fantastic, versatile dish that can be customized to your taste. The steps are straightforward, making it accessible for all home cooks. Enjoy your meal alongside steamed rice or noodles, and savor the delicious, well-balanced flavors!
