🛒 Ingredients
- 500g pork loin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
- 1/4 cup water
- Chopped green onions or sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Chili flakes (optional for spice)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Marinate the Pork
In a bowl, mix the sliced pork with 1 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb flavor and become tender.
2. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
In another bowl, combine honey, garlic, oyster sauce, remaining soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth.
3. Stir-Fry the Pork
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the pork until browned and nearly cooked (about 6–7 minutes). Don’t overcrowd the pan for a nice sear.
4. Add the Sauce
Pour in the honey garlic mixture. Stir and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the pork. Drizzle in sesame oil and mix well.
5. Serve and Garnish
Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes. Serve hot with steamed white rice or garlic rice.
📌 Tips & Variations
- Use pork belly for a richer version.
- Add bell peppers or broccoli for more color and nutrition.
- Double the sauce if you like it extra sticky and flavorful.
