Gingery Pork and Sugar Snap Pea Stir-Fry
🇨🇳 China
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
- Slice pork tenderloin crosswise on a slight diagonal, against the grain, into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
- Toss pork with cornstarch, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a bowl; cover and let sit at least 15 minutes.
- 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.
- Heat remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
- Arrange pork in a single layer in the pan, separating clumps, and cook undisturbed until deep golden brown underneath, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer pork to a plate, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
- 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.
- Cook onion in the same pan, adding up to 1 Tbsp more oil if needed, until blistered in spots, about 4 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium.
- 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.
- Transfer stir-fry to a platter and serve with steamed rice.
Notes
Sauce can be made up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerated. Pork can be marinated up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerated; no need to bring to room temperature before cooking.
