Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Create a hearty meal by stir-frying pork with fresh bean sprouts and crisp vegetables. Even without a premade sauce, you can make a delicious soy sauce and bean sprout pork stir-fry at home. Let’s start this wonderful recipe right away!
Step 2
Prepare the onion and green onion to add flavor to your soy sauce and bean sprout pork stir-fry. Slice the onion into strips. If you don’t have an onion, it’s okay to omit it, but adding one will bring out a richer, sweeter taste. You can also add mushrooms or other favorite vegetables to your liking.
Step 3
Prepare about 1.5 handfuls of bean sprouts. Wash them thoroughly under running water. If you have time, you can trim off any root ends or damaged parts for a cleaner dish. Lightly drain the washed bean sprouts and set them aside.
Step 4
Place the thinly sliced pork belly in a wide pan and begin stir-frying over medium heat. Cook until a good amount of fat has rendered from the pork belly. The pork doesn’t need to be fully cooked; just cook it until some of the fat starts to appear. This process will make the pork more savory and help prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Step 5
Once the pork belly is partially cooked and has rendered some fat, add the sliced onion and stir-fry together. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and slightly softened. This step helps to meld the sweetness of the onion with the pork, creating a deeper flavor.
Step 6
While the pork and onions are stir-frying, mix the prepared seasoning ingredients to create the sauce. Combine 7 Tbsp soy sauce, 3 Tbsp cooking wine, 2 Tbsp sugar, and 1 Tbsp minced garlic in a bowl and mix well. It’s best to adjust the seasoning to your personal taste. Rather than adding all the seasoning at once, it’s recommended to add a little at a time while tasting and adjust as you stir-fry.
Step 7
Once the pork and onions are well stir-fried, generously pile the prepared bean sprouts on top of the ingredients in the pan. Then, pour the prepared sauce evenly over everything. Instead of using a spatula, it’s better to use chopsticks to gently mix everything together so that the bean sprouts and other ingredients are well coated with the sauce. Using chopsticks helps keep the bean sprouts crisp and prevents them from becoming mushy.
Step 8
Stir-fry just until the bean sprouts are slightly crisp and tender-crisp. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the bean sprouts soggy. It’s delicious to finish with a little bit of sauce remaining, rather than letting it cook down too much. Your hearty and appetizing soy sauce and bean sprout pork stir-fry is now complete! Enjoy your meal.
