How to make Pork Stir Fry with Green Onion

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound pork loin or boneless pork chops
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon corn starch
4 Tbsp peanut oil or other high smoke point oil (canola, rice bran, or grape seed)
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8-12 scallions/green onions, sliced diagonally into 1 to 2-inch pieces, green and white parts included
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Method
  • nbsp;Pork chops tend to come in thicknesses either around 1/2 inch thick or an inch thick. If you are working with a thick boneless pork chop, start by slicing it into two thin layers, horizontally. If starting with pork loin, cut slices 1/2 inch thick. Put the slices under some plastic wrap or wax paper and pound them thin with a rubber mallet, meat mallet or even an empty wine bottle. This will help tenderize the meat. The slices should be about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the pork against the grain into thin strips, about 1 1/2 inches long.
  • nbsp;Put the soy sauce, sugar, and corn starch into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the pork strips to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat completely. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large sauté pan on high heat. When the oil is hot (shimmering but not smoking) add the garlic slices and stir-fry until they begin to turn brown at the edges, about 30 seconds. Add the pork strips and stir-fry until the pork changes color, about 90 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Add the sliced green onions and continue to stir-fry for another minute, or until the green onions wilt. Turn off the heat and stir in the sesame oil, if using.
  • Serve immediately. Serve alone, or with rice.
  • Yield: Serves 4.
