1 lbs (450g) pork loin (, cut into 1/4-inch (5-mm) slices)
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine ((or dry sherry))
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce ((Optional) (*Footnote 1))
1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
1 teaspoon ginger (, minced)

1/4 onion (, sliced)

Steps:

  • Combine all the Marinade ingredients under in a medium-sized bowl. Add the pork and mix well. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. Prepare the other ingredients while the pork marinates.
  • Mix all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat until hot. Spread the pork with minimal overlapping. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute, until the bottom turns golden. Flip to cook the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer the pork to a large plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, ginger, and garlic. Stir fry until fragrant, 20 seconds or so. Add the onion and the bell pepper. Cook and stir until starting to turn tender, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Serve hot over steamed rice as a main dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: For a succulent and flavorful stir-fry, select pork tenderloin or loin. These cuts are lean and tender, ensuring a quick cooking time and a juicy texture.
  • Tenderize the pork: Before cooking, partially freeze the pork and then slice it thinly against the grain. This technique helps break down the muscle fibers, resulting in more tender meat.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and ginger not only enhances the taste but also tenderizes the meat further.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok ensures even heat distribution and prevents food from sticking. If you don't have a wok, use a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • Cook the pork in batches: To avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking, cook the pork in batches. This allows the meat to sear properly and prevents it from steaming.
  • Add the vegetables at the right time: Vegetables with longer cooking times, such as bell peppers and carrots, should be added first. Leafy greens and tender vegetables like baby corn and snow peas can be added towards the end of cooking.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is a key component of any stir-fry, so make sure it's packed with flavor. This recipe uses a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil for a savory and aromatic sauce.

Conclusion:

Pork n' Pepper Stir-Fry is a delectable and versatile dish that combines the savory flavors of pork, bell peppers, and a flavorful sauce. By following these tips and the step-by-step instructions in the recipe, you can create a restaurant-quality stir-fry that is sure to impress your family and friends.
