A delightful stir-fry dish featuring tender pork and a flavorful garlic sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, white pepper, and dry sherry.
Mixing the marinade thoroughly ensures the pork absorbs the flavors evenly.
Add the pork slices to the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Allowing the pork to marinate enhances its flavor and tenderness.
In a separate bowl, mix sugar, rice vinegar, dry sherry, soy sauce, chicken broth, water, and cornstarch to prepare the sauce.
Stir the sauce mixture until the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps.
Heat a wok over high heat and add some oil. Once hot, add garlic, ginger, and chili peppers. Stir-fry briefly until aromatic.
Keep the heat high to quickly release the aroma of the spices.
Add the marinated pork to the wok and stir-fry until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Avoid overcooking the pork to keep it tender.
Add more oil to the wok, then stir-fry the carrots and broccoli until crisp-tender.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Return the pork to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the wok.
Add chili garlic sauce to taste and cook until the sauce thickens.
Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce based on your spice preference.
Serve the stir-fry hot with steamed rice or noodles.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
