Stir fry sliced pork with young ginger and spring onion - Featured in Group Recipes & Dishfolio

Here is another of my Mum’s recipe which I will never get tired of.  If you are looking for a tasty, fast and easy stir fry recipe, you have found it:D   A tip here to remember though, you must use pork tenderloin and sliced them thinly. The trick to have smoother texture of the pork is to marinade it with a tea spoon of corn flour.  Ooo, I love smooth and tender sliced pork.  You can use beef tenderloin if you don’t like pork but I love both!


Serving 4
Ingredients:

200g pork thinly sliced tenderloin
2 tb chopped garlic
2 tbsp vegetable/olive oil
3 stalks spring onions/scallions, cut to 2-inch lengths
1 tb Chinese cooking wine
2 tb water
50 gm young ginger thinly sliced

Marinade pork for 15 mins:

1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 bullion chicken stock mashed
½ tb oysters sauce
2 tb water
1 ts corn flour
A pinch of white pepper

Method:

Heat oil, fry ginger till fragrant. Then add garlic and stir fry till fragrant.  Add pork slices, stir fry till half cooked and add spring onions (the white bottom thick portion) water and stir fry till pork is cooked.  Add the rest of the spring onions and mix well.  Lastly add Chinese white wine and when you smell the aroma of the wine, turn off the heat and the dish is ready to be served.

Ginger fried rice - Featured in Group Recipes

This recipe of ginger fried rice came from a good friend of my Mum.  He and his wife were our neighbors when I was 10 years old.  The couple were really nice people. I say "were" because both have passed away. One special memory of them was when they threw a birthday party in their home for me when I turned 13. That was the first party I can recall where we had music and dancing.  It was a very special gift to me and I will always cherish this sweet memory and remember them fondly.


Oh do you know you can store ginger but first you have to peel it, wrap it in plastic and then freeze it.  It will not only retain its freshness, but it is easier to slice and grate when it is frozen.
