How to Make Stir-Fried Bean Sprouts with Meat

Stir-fried bean sprouts with meat is a quick, delicious, and nutritious dish loved for its crunchy texture and savory flavor. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to prepare it.

Ingredients:

- 200g bean sprouts (washed and tails removed)

- 150g pork (thinly sliced, marinated with 1 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp starch, and a pinch of pepper)

- 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 small ginger (grated)

- 1 green onion (chopped), 1 red chili (sliced, optional)

- Seasonings: 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp oyster sauce, 1/4 tsp sugar, salt to taste

- 2 tbsp cooking oil

Steps:

1. Prep: Rinse bean sprouts and drain well. Pat dry with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture. Mix pork with marinade and set aside for 10 minutes.

2. Stir-fry meat: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until no longer pink. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté garlic, ginger, and chili until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

4. Combine ingredients: Return pork to the wok. Add bean sprouts and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

5. Season: Drizzle in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss everything evenly. Adjust salt if needed.

6. Finish: Sprinkle green onions, stir briefly, and remove from heat. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Tip: Cook over high heat to maintain the crunchiness of bean sprouts. Avoid overcooking, as they release water and become soggy. Enjoy this vibrant, umami-rich dish in just 15 minutes!
