Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin strips, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until pork is browned and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Push pork to one side of the pan and add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the empty side. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
