How to make Garlic Ginger Pork Stir Fry
Marinate the Pork
In a bowl, combine the pork slices with grated ginger, ground white pepper, and light soy sauce. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Prepare the Cooking Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, white grape juice, and Chinese 5-Spice. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.
Cook the Aromatics
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and ginger matchsticks, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Stir Fry the Pork
Add the marinated pork to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it’s no longer pink and starting to brown.
Add the Vegetables and Sauce
Add the spring onions and red pepper strips, and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are just tender. Pour in the cooking sauce and stir everything together, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the pork is fully coated and cooked through.
Transfer the stir fry to a plate and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
