How to Make Stir-Fried Pork with Garlic: A Complete Guide

Stir-fried pork with garlic is a quick, flavorful dish loved worldwide. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to master it.

Ingredients: 300g pork loin, sliced thinly; 8-10 garlic cloves, minced; 2 tbsp cooking oil; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tsp oyster sauce; 1 tsp sugar; 1/2 tsp pepper; 1 green onion, chopped.

Steps:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix pork slices with 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and pepper. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.

2. Prep garlic: Mince garlic cloves—fresh garlic ensures a fragrant aroma.

3. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry for 10-15 seconds until fragrant (avoid burning).

4. Cook pork: Add marinated pork and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.

5. Season: Drizzle in remaining soy sauce, toss well, and cook for another minute.

6. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions, stir once, and serve hot with rice.

Tips: For extra crispness, blanch pork slices in boiling water for 30 seconds before stir-frying. Adjust soy sauce to taste for saltiness. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles, offering a balance of savory, garlicky flavors in under 20 minutes. Enjoy this comforting meal anytime!
