How to Make Stir-Fried Shredded Pork with Edamame

Stir-fried shredded pork with edamame is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful dish, perfect for busy weeknights. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to recreate it at home.

Ingredients: 200g pork tenderloin, shelled edamame (150g), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp cooking oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.

Instructions:

1. Prep the ingredients: Slice pork into thin shreds. Marinate with 1/2 tsp soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and pepper for 10 minutes. Blanch edamame in boiling water for 2–3 minutes until tender; drain.

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

3. Combine and season: In the same wok, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add edamame and stir-fry for 1 minute. Return pork to the wok. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss everything well and cook for another minute until heated through.

4. Serve: Transfer to a plate and garnish with optional red pepper flakes. Enjoy hot with steamed rice!

Tips: For extra flavor, use chicken broth instead of water when blanching edamame. Adjust seasoning according to your preference. This dish balances the sweetness of edamame with the savory pork, making it a family favorite.
