Gingery Pork and Sugar Snap Pea Stir-Fry

🇨🇳 China

Servings: 4 Total: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce, divided
  • 1 Tbsp plus 1/4 cup (or more) vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp distilled white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 oz sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 medium white onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
  • 6 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Steamed rice, for serving

Steps

  1. Slice pork tenderloin crosswise on a slight diagonal, against the grain, into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  2. Toss pork with cornstarch, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a bowl; cover and let sit at least 15 minutes.
  3. Stir together grated ginger, oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, vinegar, remaining 2 Tbsp soy sauce, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl to make the sauce; set aside.
  4. Heat remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
  5. Arrange pork in a single layer in the pan, separating clumps, and cook undisturbed until deep golden brown underneath, about 5 minutes.
  6. Transfer pork to a plate, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
  7. Cook sugar snap peas in the same pan, tossing occasionally, until tender and blistered in spots, about 3 minutes; transfer to the plate with pork.
  8. Cook onion in the same pan, adding up to 1 Tbsp more oil if needed, until blistered in spots, about 4 minutes.
  9. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium.
  10. Return pork and peas to the pan, pour in reserved sauce, and cook, stirring, until pork is cooked through and sauce clings to everything, about 1 minute.
  11. Transfer stir-fry to a platter and serve with steamed rice.
