How to Make Stir-Fried Diced Pork with Soy Sauce

Stir-fried diced pork with soy sauce is a beloved Chinese dish, known for its tender meat, savory sauce, and vibrant flavors. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 300g pork tenderloin, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp cooking oil, 1 green pepper, 1 onion, 3 garlic cloves, and a pinch of five-spice powder.

Steps:

1. Prepare the pork: Cut the pork into 1.5cm cubes. Marinate in 1 tbsp soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and cornstarch for 15 minutes.

2. Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry minced garlic until fragrant, then add diced green pepper and onion. Cook for 2 minutes and set aside.

3. Cook the pork: Return the wok to high heat. Add marinated pork and stir-fry until golden brown (3-4 minutes).

4. Season and combine: Add the remaining soy sauce, five-spice powder, and cooked vegetables. Toss quickly for 1 minute. Adjust seasoning with salt or sugar if needed.

5. Serve: Transfer to a plate and garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy with steamed rice!

Tips: For extra flavor, use dark soy sauce for color and a pinch of chili for heat. Ensure the wok is hot to seal the pork’s juices. This dish pairs perfectly with a light soup for a balanced meal.
