How to Make Stir-Fried Sliced Mushrooms with Pork

Stir-fried sliced mushrooms with pork is a quick, delicious, and versatile dish loved for its tender meat and earthy mushrooms. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to achieve restaurant-quality results at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced

- 150g pork loin, thinly sliced

- 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: 1 bell pepper, sliced for color.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Marinate the pork slices with 1/2 tsp soy sauce, a pinch of pepper, and 1 tsp cornstarch for 10 minutes. Clean the mushrooms and pat dry; slice them evenly.

2. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry the pork until lightly browned, then remove and set aside.

3. Sauté the mushrooms: In the same wok, add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in the mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they release water and become tender. Add garlic and bell pepper (if using) and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Combine and season: Return the pork to the wok. Add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes until well-coated. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

5. Serve: Dish out hot and enjoy with steamed rice or noodles.

Tips: For extra flavor, you can add a splash of rice wine when stir-frying the pork. Ensure mushrooms are not overcooked to maintain their crisp-tender texture. This dish pairs perfectly with a side of stir-fried greens. Enjoy your homemade meal!
