At dinnertime in Chinese homes there is almost always at least one pork dish. In this quick and easy home-style recipe it is combined with refreshing bean sprouts.
1. Combine the pork with all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
2. Heat a wok over a high heat until it is hot, then add the groundnut or vegetable oil. When the oil is hot and slightly smoking, add the pork mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl.
3. Quickly add the garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 10 seconds, then add the spring onions, red pepper and bean sprouts and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the salt, sugar, soy sauces and rice wine or sherry and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Return the pork to the wok and stir-fry, mixing well, for another minute. Add the sesame oil and give the mixture another minute to cook or until the pork is heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve at once, with plain rice and a vegetable dish.
