Pork Marinade

Stir-Fry Ingredients

Sauce

Method

Marinating the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, and cornstarch to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Add the bite-sized pork pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Stir-Fry

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 5

    Cook the Pork

    Add the marinated pork to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and browned. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 6

    Stir-Fry Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add dried red chili peppers, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

  5. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. 8

    Finish with Peanuts and Green Onions

    Add the roasted peanuts and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir to incorporate, cooking for an additional minute.
