Stir-fried pork with oyster sauce #1

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Lean pork
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoons Sherry
¼ teaspoon Sugar
¼ teaspoon Oil
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
2 teaspoons Water
2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
¼ teaspoon Sugar
1 dash Pepper
1 Wedge fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons Oil
¼ cup Stock

Directions

1. Slice pork thin against the grain. Combine cornstarch, sherry, sugar and oil; then add to pork and toss to coat.

2. Blend remaining cornstarch, cold water, oyster sauce, sugar and pepper to a paste. Crush ginger root.

3. Heat oil. Add ginger root and stir-fry a few times. Add pork and stir-fry until it begins to brown (about 3 minutes).

4. Stir in stock and heat quickly; then cook, covered, 2 minutes over medium heat.

5. Stir in cornstarch-oyster sauce paste to thicken. Serve at once.

VARIATION: Before step 3, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil, then add 4 bean curd cakes, cut in 1-inch cubes, and stir-fry gently until lightly browned.

Remove from pan. Return bean curd in step 4 after stock is heated.
