Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 5 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 2 sliced fresh red chilies, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
- Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin strips to the wok, spread out in a single layer, and sear without stirring for 2 minutes until edges start to brown. Toss and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until pork is cooked through.
- Step 3: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the pork evenly.
- Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 3 chopped green onions, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
