Treat your ingredients with care...
- Pork loin — For the best results, choose thinly sliced pork loin from your local butcher or supermarket. If you can't find pre-sliced pork loin, you can slice it yourself by partially freezing the meat for easier handling.
- Ginger — Fresh ginger is key to achieving the authentic flavor of this dish. Use a microplane or fine grater to grate the ginger for a smooth texture.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavor, you can add a splash of sesame oil to the marinade.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the stir-fry during the last minute of cooking.
- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas to the stir-fry for added color and nutrients.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serving advice
Serve the Ginger Pork Stir-Fry hot over a bed of steamed rice. Garnish with sliced green onions for a burst of freshness. Pair it with a side of miso soup and a simple cucumber salad to complete the meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the stir-fried pork slices neatly on a plate, allowing the caramelized edges to be visible. Sprinkle the dish with the sliced green onions for a vibrant touch. Serve it alongside a bowl of steamed rice for an appetizing presentation.
