Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 small dried chiles
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork, preferably from the shoulder (Boston butt or picnic), cut into thin shreds and thoroughly dried

3 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Put the oil in a large nonstick skillet (12-inch is best) and turn the heat to high; a minute later, add the garlic and chiles and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to color, just a minute or so.
  • 2. Add the pork and stir once or twice. Cook until it begins to brown, about a minute. Add the white parts of the scallions and stir; cook for another minute, stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Add the green parts of the scallions and stir; cook for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat and add the soy sauce. Serve immediately.
