Ingredients

• 500 grams Pork shoulder (or pork loin)
• 6 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices or bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely and keep ready.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it (about 1-2 minutes).

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced pork to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the pork is browned and cooked through.

Step 7

Sprinkle the ground black pepper evenly over the pork and mix well to coat.

Step 8

Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and stir constantly to coat the pork evenly. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from heat. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
