200g, thinly sliced against the grain
yellow onion
1 medium, peeled and cut into thin strips
green onions
2 stalks, chopped
red chili pepper
1 small, seeded and sliced (optional)
vegetable oil

Shaoxing wine
1 tablespoon

2 cloves, minced
Instructions
1
Marinate the pork
Place the sliced pork in a bowl. Add soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is combined. Let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
2
Prepare the aromatics
Slice the yellow onion into thin strips. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts. Seed and slice the chili pepper if using. Have all ingredients within arm's reach of your stove.
3
Sear the pork
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat. Add the marinated pork in a single layer. Let it sear without stirring for about 30 seconds, then stir-fry until no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
4
Cook the onion
Add the remaining oil to the wok. Toss in the onion strips and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they start to soften and become translucent. Add the garlic and chili, stirring for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
5
Combine and finish
Return the pork to the wok. Toss everything together over high heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the green onion tops, give it a final toss, and taste for seasoning. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
