Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 thinly sliced shallots to the hot oil and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Add 5 minced garlic cloves and sauté with the shallots for 1 minute until fragrant, careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Step 4: Increase heat to high and add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin, stir-frying for 5-7 minutes until pork is browned and cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 3 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, tossing to coat the pork evenly and creating a glossy sauce.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and fold in 2 chopped green onions and 1/2 tsp chili flakes if using, then serve immediately with steamed rice.
