Ingredients
Garlic sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons rice wine
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons chili garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Stir fry
- 12 ounces pork cooked and sliced
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 carrot julienned
- 1 rib celery sliced
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and slivered (more to taste)
- scallion finely sliced
Method
Garlic sauce
-
In a measuring cup or small bowl mix together the first eight ingredients and set aside.
Stir fry
-
Slice the pork and cut all the vegetables. Mise en place. (I can not over emphasize the importance of having all ingredients ready to go when cooking in a hot wok)
-
Heat your wok or pan over high heat. Once the wok is hot add 2 teaspoon peanut or vegetable oil. (To prevent smoking, do not add oil to the hot wok until you are ready to cook).
-
Add onions, peppers, celery, and carrots. Stir while cooking for about 2 – 3 minutes or until vegetable start to pick up some color.
-
Add the pork and continue to stir for 2 – 3 more minutes.
-
Give the soy sauce and garlic mixture a stir and add to the hot pan. (When working with a hot wok, keep the food moving, this will give you even cooking and prevent burning)
-
Cook for 2 – 3 minutes or until sauce starts to caramelize and thicken (Add a bit of water if sauce gets too thick).
-
Remove from heat.
-
Serve with rice and garnish with scallions.
Cooks Notes
This dish is the perfect way to use leftover tenderloin, pork roast, or even pork chops.
