Stir-fried Lean Meat

This evening, we tabao-ed outside food for the kids since they have been having home-cooked food for almost a week long.  But yea, told hubby not to get mine as I had wanna "escape" into the kitchen tonight. Lol. 

So, I had earlier this week, got a slab of pork loin, 290g, at $8++. Good enough to divide into 3 portions. Hence, decided to do up a 姜葱瘦肉 to go together with my plain porridge. 

Ingredients:
- pork loin (100g), thinly sliced
- spring onions (separate the white and green portions)
- chopped garlic
- sliced ginger
- five spice powder
- ground pepper
- dark soy sauce
- sesame oil
- dash of salt
- Shaoxing wine (optional)

Steps:
1. Marinate the sliced pork with 2 tsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, a dash of pepper and five spice powder , and leave to stand for 30mins



2. Heat the wok with 1 tbsp of oil.  Toss the sliced ginger first and fry till aromatic. Next goes in the chopped white spring onions and again, fry till aromatic. Finally throw in the chopped garlic.  Chopped garlic should not be the first item as they get burnt easily. Give a good stir. 





3. When fragrant, add in the pork slices and give a quick stir. 


4. Wok should be a little dry by now. Add in 2 tbsp of hot water and give a quick fry. Throw in the remaining green spring onions. Stir fry again and add a pinch of salt before adding 1/4 a cup of hot water. 


5. If you like, you may add in a little Shaoxing wine now and then dish to serve. 



There you go, a quick dish for the plain porridge. :)

Happy mum
