Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice 1 lb pork tenderloin into thin 1/4-inch strips against the grain for tenderness.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 2 thinly sliced red Thai chilies to the hot oil, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Step 4: Add the pork strips to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the pork is cooked through and starting to brown at the edges.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp brown sugar, tossing to coat the pork evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  7. Step 7: Serve immediately over steamed jasmine rice for a quick, spicy meal.
