Tired of having beef and chicken every day? Well, trying this new finger-licking recipe will have you and your loved ones wanting more of the yumminess.

Pork is always my go-to dish, whenever I want to show off my culinary skills as it is not only easy to prepare, but also works the kitchen sweat.

Here is how to make a ‘fun’ pork cuisine in the comfort of your home.

Ingredients

  • 450 grams of pork loin (or tenderloin), cut into 1-inch (2-cm) pieces or strips
  • ½ cup corn starch (thickening)
  • Stir-fry
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • How to make the marinade
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1: First to marinate the pork for flavor, combine the pork pieces, vegetable oil, and salt in a big bowl. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2: As it marinates, mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 3: Add the beaten egg into the bowl with the pork marinade then stir to mix well.

Step 4: Add the corn starch. Stir to coat the pork until it forms an uneven coating

 Step 5: Heat the oil in a pan, until it just starts to smoke then add the pork all at once and spread it out into a single layer. Separate the pork pieces to avoid sticking.

Step 6: Cook without touching the pork for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden. Flip to brown the other side, for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 7: Transfer the pork to a big plate and remove the pan from the stove. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 8: In the same pan used for frying, add your green onion and garlic. Cook and stir a few times until it releases its fragrance, a few seconds. Stir in the pork and mix well, then remove immediately and serve.

Step 9: Serve hot as a main over steamed rice or fried potatoes. Enjoy with friends and family.
