I had the two main ingredients on hand, and decided to get creative. We are big lovers of sesame oil. Everyone was pleased with the results, so I thought I'd post this before I forgot it. I served with this warm hokkien noodles, but rice would be fine, too.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For stir-fries, thinly sliced pork tenderloin or pork loin are the best choices. These cuts are tender and cook quickly.
  • Slice the pork against the grain: This will help the pork cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help the pork to sear and brown quickly, preventing it from becoming tough.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: Start with the vegetables that take the longest to cook, such as carrots or broccoli, and add the more delicate vegetables, such as spinach, towards the end of cooking.
  • Stir-fry the pork and vegetables until tender: The pork should be cooked through and the vegetables should be crisp-tender.
  • Serve the pork stir-fry immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh.
