Pork with Ginger & Spring Onion

This is another regular dish my mum make for me to eat growing up - ginger and spring onion is always a staple in the fridge.  So when my mum make this, she either ran out of ideas, or just want to make something quick to feed me & my sister. Again me & sister would be very happy to drown our rice with sauce and think my mum is the best cook ever! When talking to some of my chinese friends, it seems this is a very popular home-cook dish.  

My mum would normally cook this with pork chops, but i'm too lazy with all the cutting whilst eating, so use pork loin steaks and chop it in small pieces - why waste time when i'm hungry haha. 


















Ingredients:

2 Pork loin steak, sliced into strips
1 Onion ,sliced lengthways (optional)
2 Spring Onion,  sliced lengthways
1 clove of garlic, crushed and coarsely chopped
1 thumbsized piece of root ginger, peeled, crushed, and coarsely chopped
1 Tbspn dark soy sauce
1 Tbspn light soy sauce
Pinch of sugar
100ml water
1 tspn corn starch, mixed with 30ml water to make slurry
1 Tbspn oil

Marinade for pork:
1 tspn light soy sauce
1 tspn oyster sauce
Sprinkle of sesame oil
Dash of grounded white pepper
1 Tbspn Cornflour




Method:
1)  Cut the pork into thin strips, then in a bowl marinade with the listed seasoning, for at least 10 minutes.
2) Heat wok with oil over high heat. Add garlic and ginger and let it fry a little
3) Add pork into work and stir fry for 1 minute. Add in also onions. Drizzle water and reduce heat to medium low heat. Cover wok with lid and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes.
4) Remove lid and increase heat again to stir fry for few seconds. Add in light soy sauce and dark sauce and give it a good stir. Sprinkle sugar and continue stir fry for few more seconds.
5) Reduce heat to medium low heat, add spring onion. Give it a good stir and let all ingredients simmer for 1 - 2 minutes, or till water slightly evaporated.
6) Pour cornflour slurry to thicken gravy in one circular motion, and stir fry for few seconds, then ready to serve. Taste really good with some fragant white rice.
