Stir fry pork slices in ginger

My favourite dish to eat during confinement was stir fry pork slices in ginger. Simple yet appetizing. Just need pork and ginger from the kitchen and you get a super yummy dish to go with rice.

Ingredients 

200g lean pork 

1 ginger knob 

Marinade 

White pepper 

Soy sauce 

Sesame oil 

Cornstarch 

Sauce 

1 Tbsp oyster sauce 

1 Tbsp light soy sauce 

1 tsp dark Soy sauce
4-5 Tbsp water 

Sugar 

Chinese cooking wine 

Recipe 

1. Cut the lean pork into thin slices. (Tip: you can start slicing when the pork is semi-thawed. It is easier to cut.) 

2. Marinate the pork slices using the marinade stated above. 

3. Cut the ginger into pieces (or slices if you don’t mind eating it). Prepare the sauce in a bowl using the ingredients stated except for sugar and Chinese cooking wine. 

4. Heat up the wok. Put in the ginger slices when the oil is hot. Let the ginger cook till fragrant.

5. Add in the pork slices. (At this point, I will turn on my kitchen timer to 3 minutes and try to watch the time as I cook. Cooking too long can make the slices turn tough) Do not be impatient and keep stirring the pork with the spatula. Let it cook a while before flipping the meat over to the other side. Make sure the pork is not pink anymore. (else when you pour in the sauce, you cannot see whether it is evenly cooked)

6. Pour in the sauce and let it boil. If you want it to be thicker, you can add cornstarch solution at this point. Test the sauce and adjust the taste with sugar. When you are almost ready to dish up, pour a little bit of Chinese cooking wine along the side of the wok, don’t just pour on top of it. 

7. Give it a last stir and remove from wok to serve.
