Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 500g pork mince
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping mixed vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic finely and set aside.
- Heat a large wok or wide skillet over high heat. Add sesame oil and allow it to become hot and shimmer slightly.
- Add minced garlic and stir quickly for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Add pork mince to the wok, breaking it up with a wooden spatula or cooking spoon. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure even browning and no large clumps form.
- Once pork is mostly cooked and slightly golden, add mixed vegetables to the wok. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring to coat all ingredients evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring pork is completely cooked through and vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.
- Remove from heat and let rest for one minute to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot over steamed rice, garnishing with optional chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Tips
- Prep is Key: Chop all your vegetables to uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and a professional-looking dish.
- High Heat is Your Friend: A blazing hot wok or skillet is crucial for that authentic stir-fry sear and prevent soggy vegetables.
- Keep It Moving: Constant stirring prevents burning and ensures every ingredient gets perfectly cooked and coated in sauce.
- Don't Overcrowd: Cook in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and prevent steaming instead of stir-frying.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use the freshest vegetables and highest quality pork mince you can find for the best flavor.
- Sauce Balance: Adjust soy and oyster sauce to your taste, but be careful not to oversalt.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best enjoyed hot and fresh, right out of the wok!
