How to Make Shredded Pork with Garlic Sprouts

Shredded pork with garlic sprouts is a quick, delicious Chinese stir-fry that balances savory, tangy, and aromatic flavors. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

200g pork loin, shredded and marinated in 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp starch, and a pinch of pepper; 200g garlic sprouts, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp cooking oil; 1 tsp soy sauce; 1 tsp oyster sauce; ½ tsp sugar; a pinch of salt.

Steps:

1. Prep the pork: Marinate the shredded pork for 15 minutes to tenderize.

2. Stir-fry the pork: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until no longer pink (2-3 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Cook garlic sprouts: In the same wok, add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (10 seconds). Toss in garlic sprouts and stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened.

4. Combine and season: Return pork to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir-fry for another minute until everything is well-coated and heated through.

Tips: For extra flavor, blanch garlic sprouts in boiling water for 30 seconds before stir-frying to reduce bitterness. Serve hot with steamed rice!

This dish is versatile—feel free to add chili flakes for heat or carrots for color. Enjoy your homemade shredded pork with garlic sprouts!
