Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss 400 g thinly sliced pork shoulder with 1 tsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine, and 1/4 tsp white pepper in a bowl. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add the marinated pork to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the pork is cooked through and edges begin to brown.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 tsp sugar and 3 chopped scallions, cooking for another 1 minute until the scallions soften and the sauce thickens slightly, coating the pork.
