Stir-frying pork with snow peas is a quick, delicious dish that balances tender meat, crisp vegetables, and savory flavors. Here’s a simple yet comprehensive guide to mastering it.

Ingredients:

- 200g pork tenderloin, thinly sliced

- 200g snow peas, trimmed and strings removed

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix pork slices with 1 tbsp soy sauce, pepper, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Let it sit for 15 minutes to tenderize.

2. Blanch snow peas: Boil water, add snow peas for 1 minute, then drain immediately to retain crispness.
