Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook pork in Chinese? First prepare the ingredients. Take a piece of pork and rinse it under running water, then pat it dry a little or pat it with paper towels. Cut the pork into strips no thicker than 0.5 centimeters.

Step 2

Step 2
Now add a spoonful of soy sauce, ground ginger, ground black pepper, and a little salt to the container with the pork. Mix all the components of the container so that the strips of meat are equally coated with spices and soy sauce. Leave the pork to soak in the marinade for a while.

Now get to the vegetables. They all need to be washed and wiped dry. Peel the onion, remove the seeds and stalks from the pepper. Chop all the vegetables into strips, cut the onion into half rings (you can use a slicer, if you don’t have one, then cut the vegetables into strips using a regular knife).

Then add all the other vegetables. Continue cooking them for 10-15 minutes, stirring them constantly. Remove the fried vegetables from the pan. You can fry for less than 10 minutes if you want vegetables with a dense consistency (this will take 7 minutes).

Step 6

Sprinkle the pork pieces evenly with starch and stir. Add a little more oil to the pan. Place the meat in a frying pan in parts so that the pieces lie separately from each other, fry over medium heat until cooked. This will take 5-7 minutes. Stir the pieces of meat several times during frying.
