Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the instant marinade for your delicious pork neck steak. In a mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: sugar, soy sauce, corn syrup, minced garlic, ginger powder, cooking wine, oyster sauce, black pepper, and chopped green onion. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved to create your savory sauce. (Tip: Making the sauce ahead of time can save you time during cooking!)
Step 2
Now, it’s time to cook the pork neck. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat until it’s sufficiently hot. Place the pork neck slices in the pan and sear them. It’s crucial to cook over high heat; if the heat is too low, the juices will escape, leaving the meat dry and potentially creating an unpleasant odor. Sear both sides until golden brown to lock in the flavor.
Step 3
Once both sides of the pork neck are nicely browned and appealing, evenly pour the prepared instant marinade over the meat. Ensure the sauce coats the pork generously.
Step 4
After adding the marinade, pour in about 20cc (approximately 2 Tbsp) of water. This helps prevent the sauce from burning and allows it to simmer and develop a richer flavor. (Tip: You can also mix this water directly into the marinade ingredients when preparing the sauce.)
Step 5
With the marinade and water in the pan, let it bubble vigorously over high heat for about 30 seconds. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and cut the pork neck into bite-sized pieces. This allows the sauce to penetrate the meat gently as it simmers.
Step 6
After cutting the meat, turn the heat back up to medium-high. Use a spatula or tongs to stir the pork and sauce constantly as it thickens. Continue cooking until the sauce has reduced and thickened, with minimal visible liquid remaining, achieving a glossy finish. (Tip: Be careful not to overcook, as the sauce can become too salty. Adjust the cooking time based on the desired consistency.)
Step 7
And there you have it – your delicious Instant Marinated Pork Neck Steak is ready! Serve it attractively on a plate; the glossy finish is truly appetizing. Its perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors makes it an excellent companion to a hot bowl of rice or a fantastic accompaniment to your favorite drinks. Enjoy your culinary creation!
