This classic Cantonese dish showcases the beautiful contrast between rich, crispy pork and the delicate, snappy snow peas. The key is cooking the peas just enough to retain their vibrant color and satisfying crunch.
Slice the crispy pork into thin, uniform pieces. Trim the snow peas and remove any tough strings along the edges. Cut the green onions into diagonal pieces about 2 inches long. Finely slice the ginger and mince the garlic, keeping them separate.
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt and a few drops of oil. Drop in the snow peas and cook for exactly 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green but still retain their crisp texture. Immediately drain and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ginger and garlic, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the pork slices and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the edges turn golden and crispy.
Add the blanched snow peas to the wok. Toss everything together for about 1 minute. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of sugar. Stir-fry for another minute until all ingredients are well coated and heated through. Season with salt to taste.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with the green onion pieces. Serve hot over steamed rice.
