Instructions

Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 2 lbs pork back ribs cut into 2-inch pieces and stir-fry for 7-8 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked through.
Step 2: Add 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 sliced fresh red chilies, and 1 tbsp grated ginger to the wok. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and aromatic.
Step 3: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar, mixing well so the ribs are fully coated and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped green onions and 1 tbsp sesame seeds over the stir-fry. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
