Main Ingredients- 400g pork shoulder, sliced thinly (thinly sliced pork neck is also a good option)
- 4 heads of bok choy
- 1 onion
- 1 green onion (scallion)
- 1/2 pack of enoki mushrooms
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 400g of fresh pork shoulder. If you prefer a softer texture, thinly sliced pork neck works wonderfully as well.
Step 2
Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces. Avoid cutting them too small to maintain a pleasant texture after stir-frying.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the cut pork with 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp cooking wine, 1/4 tsp ginger powder, and a pinch of black pepper. (Alternatively, you can use 1/2 tsp of grated fresh ginger instead of ginger powder.)
Step 4
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until the marinade evenly coats the pork. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to deeply infuse.
Step 5
While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the onion. Cut the bok choy into quarters, keeping the base intact. Slice the green onion diagonally.
Step 6
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and sliced onion, and stir-fry until the onion becomes translucent and the pork is browned, about 3-5 minutes. The pork will release some juices.
Step 7
Once the pork and onions are about two-thirds cooked and a savory sauce begins to form,
Step 8
Add the prepared bok choy, enoki mushrooms, and green onion to the pan. Continue to stir-fry.
Step 9
Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy. Cook just until the bok choy turns bright green and is tender-crisp. Overcooking will diminish its delightful crunch.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle with 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds and toss to combine. Your delicious pork and bok choy stir-fry is ready! For an extra nutty aroma, you can add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil at the end.
