Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the sauce for this delicious stir-fry. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of oligodang, 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Stir well with a spoon until all ingredients are smoothly combined. Your flavorful sauce is ready!
Step 2
Now, heat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Add the pork belly and stir-fry until it’s nicely browned. It’s important to cook it until the fat renders and the pork is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 3
Once the pork belly is almost cooked through, pour in all the prepared sauce and stir-fry together over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the pork evenly. This step will further enhance the savory flavors.
Step 4
Next, it’s time to add the bean sprouts. Stir-fry them with the pork for just 1-2 minutes, until they are slightly softened but still retain their crispiness. Be careful not to overcook, as they can lose their delightful crunch!
Step 5
When the bean sprouts are halfway cooked, add the mini bok choy that you’ve washed and prepared. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Bok choy cooks very quickly, so avoid cooking it for too long with the bean sprouts. We want to keep that crisp texture!
Step 6
Just before turning off the heat, sprinkle in some black pepper, drizzle with fragrant sesame oil, and finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Your mouth-watering ‘Pork and Bean Sprout Stir-fry’ is now complete! Enjoy it with a warm bowl of rice.
