Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’ll be making a delicious Pork and Crown Daisy Stir-fry. It’s a wonderfully simple yet impressive side dish perfect for any meal.
Step 2
First, prepare all your ingredients. Have the ground pork, washed and trimmed crown daisy, chopped scallions, and minced garlic ready. This makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 3
In a wok or a deep pan, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium-low heat. Add the chopped scallions and sauté slowly until their fragrant aroma infuses the oil, creating ‘scallion oil’. Then, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; adjust the heat as needed.
Step 4
Now, add the ground pork to the pan. Use chopsticks or a spatula to break up any clumps and stir-fry until the pork is no longer pink and is cooked through. Ensure the pork is evenly cooked before proceeding.
Step 5
The crown daisy doesn’t need to be blanched or boiled. Simply wash it thoroughly, pat it dry, and roughly chop it into bite-sized pieces. Keeping it fresh will preserve its vibrant flavor.
Step 6
Add the prepared crown daisy to the pan with the cooked pork. Stir-fry over high heat just until the crown daisy begins to wilt. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the crown daisy lose its crisp texture.
Step 7
Pour in the pre-mixed seasoning sauce (soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, pepper) and stir well to coat all the ingredients. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and aroma.
Step 8
Transfer the beautifully cooked Pork and Crown Daisy Stir-fry to a serving dish. It looks as good as it tastes and is perfect served over a warm bowl of rice!
