Stir-Fried Pork in Garlic Sauce
Mark Bittman
Here's a simple stir-fry for a flavorful weeknight meal. Quick tip: Have everything prepared before cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 to 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin, or shoulder, cut into thin shreds
- 2 Tbs peanut oil, or vegetable oil
- 2 Tbs garlic, peeled and chopped
- 2 chiles, dried
- 1 bunch scallions, or green onion, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths (separate the white parts from the green parts)
- 3 Tbs soy sauce
- 4 cups white rice, cooked
Directions
- Put oil in large, nonstick skillet (12 inches is best) and turn heat to high; a minute later, add garlic and chiles, cook stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to color, just a minute or so. Add pork and stir once or twice. Cook until it begins to brown, about a minute. Add white parts of the scallions and stir; cook another minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in the green parts of the scallions and stir; cook for 30 seconds, then turn off heat and add the soy sauce. Serve immediately with white rice.
