Ingredients

• 500 g Pork tenderloin
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 30 ml Oyster sauce
• 15 ml Hoisin sauce
• 15 ml Sesame oil
• 15 ml Rice vinegar
• 10 g Fresh ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 10 g Brown sugar
• 10 g Cornstarch
• 30 ml Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Spring onions
• 5 g Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

1. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1 cm wide, and set aside.

Step 2

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

3. Add the pork strips to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

Step 4

4. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, then set aside.

Step 5

5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

6. Add the marinated pork strips to the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Step 7

7. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining marinade to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.

Step 8

8. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce is glossy and coats the pork strips.

Step 9

9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

10. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, or alongside stir-fried vegetables.
