“Delicious home-taste pork dish with smooth and tendering texture that you can never resist.”
This pork dish is one of the most popular Asian dishes, be it homecooked or dine-out order.
Remember the aromatic ginger and spring onion (also called it scallion) plus a touch of fragrant oyster sauce in its marination provide the classic stir-fry flavour in both the smooth bouncy pork and fragrant thick gravy. It simply complements just a plate of plain steamed white rice at its best.. This is truely mouth-watering!
To have it at its fullest and for more complete diet, I have added carrot strips which indeed go so well with the rest of the ingredients in it.
See Recipe:

Reduce heat to medium low fire, add spring onion. Stir fry for few strokes, and then, let all ingredients simmer for 1 – 2 minutes, or till water slightly evaporated. You may stir fry occasionally to avoid sticking.

Notes
Tips: Add more water, if preferred more gravy.
Hi, I just wanted to say I tried this and it is delicious! I just added a bit of worcester sauce but it’s not really necessary. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi K Shan,
Happy to hear that you cooked delicious dishes. Yes, it is not necessary to add worcester sauce to this recipe at all as it would yield more a sourish taste that may not be pleasant to this particular dish.
Happy cooking!
This recipe is one of the best I’ve tried. I made this a week ago and it was absolutely gorgeous! My very fussy boyfriend, who is an utterly picky eater gave it a two thumbs up rating. Excellent blog, PatriCa. Keep it up!

Many thanks K Shan. Just gave this a go. Delicious ! FYI I added some chopped celery which gave it some crunch. Also I used leeks instead of scallions but that’s just my preference. Well done !
