Ingredients
pork tenderloin, sliced thin
200g
broccoli florets
300g
carrot, peeled and sliced
1 medium
potato, peeled and sliced
1 small
cooking oil
2 tablespoons
cooking wine or rice wine
1 tablespoon
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
cornstarch
1 tablespoon
salt
to taste
Instructions
1
Marinate the pork
Place sliced pork in a bowl. Add cooking wine, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the meat to absorb the flavors.
2
Prepare the vegetables
Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Slice carrot and potato into thin, even pieces for quick cooking. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add broccoli, and blanch for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process.
3
Cook the pork
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4
Stir-fry vegetables
Add a little more oil if needed. Stir-fry carrot and potato slices over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
5
Combine and finish
Return the pork to the wok. Add the blanched broccoli and toss everything together. Season with salt, stir-fry for another minute until all ingredients are heated through. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
