Pork and Vegetable Stir-Fry

 


Ingredients:

1 lb (450 g) pork tenderloin or pork shoulder, sliced into thin strips

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for marinating)

1 tablespoon sesame oil (for cooking)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets

1 carrot, julienned

1 cup baby corn, cut in half

½ cup snow peas or green beans, trimmed

For the sauce:

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional for sweetness)

½ cup chicken broth or water

1 teaspoon cornstarch (for thickening)

½ teaspoon sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Marinate the Pork:

In a bowl, combine pork strips with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable oil. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Prepare the Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), chicken broth, cornstarch, and sugar. Set aside.

Cook the Pork:

Heat sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated pork for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Veggies:

In the same pan, add garlic and onions. Stir-fry until fragrant. Add carrots, baby corn, and broccoli first (they take longer to soften). After 2 minutes, add bell peppers and snow peas. Stir for another 2–3 minutes.

Combine Everything:

Return the pork to the pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well until everything is evenly coated and the sauce thickens slightly.

Serve Hot:

Enjoy with steamed rice or noodles for a hearty, colorful meal.

Optional Add-ins:

Add chili flakes or sliced red chili for a spicy kick.

Replace pork with chicken, beef, or tofu if you prefer.
