Instructions
- Step 1: Thinly slice 300 grams of pork loin into bite-sized strips against the grain for tenderness. Mince 4 garlic cloves finely and chop 2 green onions into 1-inch pieces.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 3: Add the pork slices to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently, until the pork is cooked through and starting to brown on the edges.
- Step 4: Pour in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 2 tablespoons chili oil, stirring quickly to coat the pork evenly. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
- Step 5: Toss in the chopped green onions and stir-fry for an additional 1 minute until the onions soften slightly but remain vibrant green. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
