Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 small sliced yellow onion, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Step 2: Add 6 oz thinly sliced pork shoulder and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is lightly browned and cooked through.
