How to Make Pork and Peas Stir-Fry: A Complete Guide

Pork and pea stir-fry is a quick, flavorful dish loved for its balance of tender meat and crisp sweetness. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to master it.

Ingredients:

- 200g pork loin, thinly sliced

- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce (optional)

- 1/2 tsp sugar

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix pork with 1 tbsp soy sauce, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

2. Heat the wok: Heat oil over high heat until shimmering. Add pork and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry aromatics: Add garlic to the wok, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Cook peas: Toss in peas, stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp. If using frozen peas, no need to thaw.

5. Combine and season: Return pork to the wok. Add remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry for 1 minute until everything is well-coated. Adjust salt if needed.

Serve hot over steamed rice. For extra flavor, a dash of sesame oil or chili flakes can be added. This versatile dish pairs well with carrots or bell peppers for added color and nutrition. Enjoy your homemade pork and peas stir-fry!
