Ingredients

oyster mushrooms 300g

pork loin or pork belly, thinly sliced 120g

dried red chilies 2

garlic cloves, minced 3

garlic sprouts or scallions 2 stalks

vegetable oil 2 tbsp

light soy sauce 1 tbsp

oyster sauce 1 tbsp

sugar 1/2 tsp

white pepper 1/4 tsp

sesame oil 1 tsp

Instructions

Marinate the pork

Slice the pork thinly against the grain. In a bowl, combine the pork with sugar, white pepper, 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it rest for 10 minutes. This quick marinade helps the meat stay tender and flavorful.

Prepare the vegetables

Trim the oyster mushrooms and tear them into bite-sized pieces. Cut the garlic sprouts into 2-inch lengths. Set everything aside within reach of your stove.

Cook the aromatics

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dried chilies and minced garlic, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Brown the pork

Add the marinated pork to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the pork is no longer pink and has developed some color. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Stir-fry the mushrooms

In the same wok, add the oyster mushrooms. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to soften. The mushrooms will shrink as they cook.

Combine and finish

Return the pork to the wok along with the garlic sprouts. Add the remaining soy sauce and oyster sauce. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well combined. Drizzle with sesame oil, give it a final toss, and serve immediately over steamed rice.
