How to Stir-Fry Shredded Pork with Asparagus

Stir-fried shredded pork with asparagus is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful dish, perfect for busy weeknights. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to achieve tender pork and crisp, vibrant asparagus every time.

Ingredients:

- 200g pork tenderloin, thinly sliced

- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce

- 1 tsp cornstarch

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix sliced pork with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper. Let it sit for 15 minutes to tenderize.

2. Prep vegetables: Blanch asparagus in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

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

4. Combine: In the same wok, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add blanched asparagus and stir-fry for 1 minute. Return pork to the wok, toss everything together, and season with a pinch of salt if needed. Cook for another 30 seconds.

Serving Tip: Enjoy hot with steamed rice for a complete meal! Adjust sauces to your taste for a savory umami flavor. This dish balances protein and veggies, making it both healthy and delicious.
