Stir-fried garlic sprouts with pork is a quick, flavorful Chinese dish that balances crisp vegetables, tender meat, and aromatic sauces. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering it.

Ingredients:

- 200g pork loin, thinly sliced and marinated in 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp cooking wine for 15 minutes.

- 300g garlic sprouts, trimmed and cut into 3-inch segments.

- 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 ginger slice, julienned.

- 3 tbsp cooking oil.

Steps:

1. Prep: Marinate the pork as above. Mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Heat oil in a wok over high heat.

2. Stir-fry pork: Add pork and stir-fry until no longer pink (2–3 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same wok, stir-fry minced garlic and ginger until fragrant (30 seconds).

4. Cook garlic sprouts: Add garlic sprouts, stir-fry for 1 minute, then cover briefly to soften slightly (1–2 minutes).
