Pork with Choi Sum

This is what i called a quick dinner when i come into work and i just want to eat. Some veg some meat on top of some rice - Voila!  My mum used to cook this quickly for me when i walk home for lunch, or days she feel just cant be bothered with doing all the washing up, so everyone one plate.


















Ingredients:

1) Choi-Sum - use this recipe

2) 1 clove of garlic, crushed and coarsely chopped
    1 thumb-size Root Ginger, de-skinned & coarsely chopped.
    1 piece of Pork loin, cut in fine shreds

1 Tbspn Veg Oil
1/4tspn of Sugar
1/4tspn of White Pepper
Drizzle of Sesame Oil
1tspn Light Soy Sauce
1tspn Chinese rice wine/cooking wine
1 Tbspn Oyster sauce
2Tbspn Water
Sprinkle of salt to taste. 
1.5tspn Cornflour - mix with a little water


Method:

1)First stir-fry choi-sum as this recipe and set aside.
2)Heat up the oil in a wok over a high heat, add the garlic & ginger and give it a quick stir.
3)Add in the pork, and quickly stir fry - so it does not stick to the wok.
4)Add sugar, white pepper, sesame oil, wine and soya sauce and again give it a good stir approx 3mins.
5) Add water, and cover the wok with a lid to let the flavour all infuse for 1-2mins.
6) Stir in the oyster sauce, then add the cornflour mixture to thicken the sauce. If its too thick, add a little more water, vice versa if its too watery, mix abit more cornflour and add to wok to further thicken. Lastly, when it is nearly done, sprinkle with salt to taste. 
7) Scoop some fragant white rice on plate, chopstick the choi sum on top of the rice, then scoop the pork in oyster sauce on top.  Ready to serve.

Tip:
This is a very basic recipe for meat and veg, so can substitute other ingredients. i.e Shredded Chicken on Romane Lettuce, or Beef on broccolli.

Happy Cooking!
