Instructions

Step 1: Toss 10 oz thinly sliced pork tenderloin with 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine in a bowl; let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the marinated pork strips to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the pork begins to brown and is nearly cooked through.
Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp water, and 4 cut scallions. Continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the scallions are tender but bright green.
Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
