Ingredients
Pork:
1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Stir-Fry:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 carrot, julienned
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Sauce:
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Marinate the Pork:
- In a small bowl, combine the sliced pork with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Stir-Fry:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
- In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage, carrot, and red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
4. Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked pork to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the stir-fry and toss to combine, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well-coated and heated through.
- Serve the pork and cabbage stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
Pairing Suggestions: Serve with steamed jasmine rice or soba noodles. Add a side of steamed broccoli or a simple cucumber salad for a complete meal.
To Ensure Success: Make sure to slice the pork and vegetables thinly for even cooking. Stir-fry quickly over high heat to retain the crunch of the vegetables.
Variations: Substitute the pork with chicken or tofu for a different protein option. Add other vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or bok choy for more variety.
