How to Make Stir-Fried Zucchini with Pork

Stir-fried zucchini with pork is a quick, delicious, and nutritious dish loved for its tender-crisp texture and savory flavor. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

- 150g pork loin, thinly sliced and marinated in 1 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper for 10 minutes

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt, 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 tsp oyster sauce (optional)

- A pinch of sugar (to balance flavors)

Steps:

1. Prep: Rinse and slice the zucchini. Pat dry to avoid excess water. Marinate the pork as above.

2. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the pork until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry zucchini: In the same wok, add garlic and stir until fragrant (10 seconds). Add zucchini, stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. Combine: Return the pork to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and sugar. Toss everything together for 1 minute until heated through.

5. Serve: Transfer to a plate and enjoy hot with steamed rice!

Tips: For extra flavor, add a dash of sesame oil before serving. Adjust cooking time for zucchini to keep it crunchy. This versatile dish is ready in under 20 minutes!
