Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, breaking apart pieces until pork is browned and cooked through.
