500 g pork slice thinly against the grain
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine pork with garlic powder, sesame oil, oyster sauce, tamarind paste, water, light and dark soy sauce, sugar, salt and cornstarch. Marinate for 15 minutes (If you have 30minutes, better! An hour? Perfection!).
