Snow Peas Mushroom Pork Recipe

Prep the pork

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice across the grain into 1/8–1/4-inch thin slices. If needed, partially freeze pork for 20–30 minutes to make slicing easier.

Marinate

Combine the marinade ingredients (1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp white pepper) in a bowl. Add the sliced pork and toss to coat. Let sit 15–20 minutes while you prepare vegetables.

Prepare vegetables

Trim snow peas by removing strings and any tough stem ends. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp towel and slice about 1/4 inch thick. Thinly slice half a small yellow onion. Mince garlic and ginger.

Cook pork

Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Add the marinated pork in a single layer (work in two batches if necessary) and stir-fry quickly until just cooked through and slightly browned, about 2–3 minutes. Remove pork to a plate and set aside.

Stir-fry vegetables

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the hot wok. Add the sliced onion and stir-fry 30–45 seconds until fragrant and slightly softened. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir 10–15 seconds until aromatic (do not burn). Add the sliced mushrooms and stir-fry 1–2 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown. Add snow peas and stir-fry 45–60 seconds until bright green and crisp-tender.

Combine

Return the cooked pork to the wok and toss with the vegetables to combine, 20–30 seconds.

While the pork is resting, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl: 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock, and 1/2 tsp sugar.

Make the slurry by mixing 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water until smooth. Give the sauce a quick stir and pour it into the wok with the pork and vegetables.

Stir constantly as the sauce comes to a simmer; the slurry will thicken the sauce in about 30–60 seconds. Toss everything to coat evenly and cook an additional 30 seconds so flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with up to 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground white or black pepper as needed. If using, drizzle 1/4 tsp toasted sesame oil and sprinkle sliced scallions over the top.

Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
