Asian-style Pork Stir-fry








Preparation time: 30-35 minutes (including marinating time)
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4
This dish is a good example of the vibrant personality of Asian flavors, and it is very easy to put together. You can substitute the mushrooms here with other Asian mushrooms such as shitake, or even button.  Feel free to add other vegetables as well.  Baby corn, broccoli, or asparagus will all work well.  Make sure to slice the vegetables into more or less similar sizes so they all cook at the same rate.  Serve this atop steaming hot white rice. 

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine)
  • 1 teaspoon black vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 350 grams bacon cut pork belly
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 red onion, cut into eighths
  • 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 150 grams oyster mushrooms
  • 150 grams shimeji mushrooms
  • 2 pencil leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced diagonally
  • Water, if needed

Preparation

  1. Mix the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, black vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a bowl until fully combined. Pat the pork belly pieces dry and combine with the soy sauce mixture, making sure the mixture is evenly spread throughout the pork. Leave to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat a wok over high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Add the pork and marinade and stir-fry until pork is just cooked. Do not overcook.  Remove the pork from the wok and place the wok back on the stove.
  3. Pour the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the wok. Add garlic, onion, and ginger. Sauté, stirring, until fragrant and onion pieces start to soften. Add oyster mushrooms and toss. Add shimeji mushrooms and toss to combine. If the mixture looks a little too dry, add about a tablespoon of water and mix, sautéing until mushrooms soften.
  4. Add the leeks, toss once or twice, and then add back the pork. Give everything a final toss, just to get it all combined, then take off the heat and serve immediately.
