Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare one stalk of green onion. Wash it thoroughly, then slice it lengthwise in half. Finally, thinly slice it crosswise. Slicing it this way helps its aromatic flavor infuse better into the sauce, resulting in a more delicious stir-fry.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the 250g of pork shoulder with 2 Tbsp of sugar. Gently mix and knead with your hands until well combined. The sugar helps to tenderize the meat and acts as a base for the marinade. If you prefer a less sweet taste, feel free to reduce the sugar to 1 Tbsp; it will still be delicious.
Step 3
To the sugared pork, add 3 Tbsp of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, 1 Tbsp of minced garlic, and the pre-sliced green onions. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands, ensuring the marinade coats every piece of meat evenly. This step is crucial for allowing the flavors to penetrate the pork.
Step 4
Heat 2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry quickly. As the pork cooks, a delicious sauce will form in the pan. Continue to cook until this sauce has reduced and thickened slightly. This process creates a mouthwatering soy-glazed pork stir-fry, perfect for serving over a bowl of hot rice!
