Ginger Pork Stir Fry

AR often comment that I seem to be everywhere at once when I am cooking. One minute I am chopping, the other minute I am stirring the pot and when he turned around and I am at the fridge keeping something or getting an ingredient out.


Sometimes, he catches me on the computer reading blogs, putting comments or just replying emails! (oops)

There are times when I concentrate and get into the zone of cooking. When nothing else exists but just you and the kitchen stove? Not on this day while I was doing a stir fry. I was obviously distracted because I overcooked it!!!

You can just imagine AR shaking his head....

Ginger Pork Stir Fry 
300 grams of lean pork meat sliced
1 tsp of corn flour 
1 bunch of spring onion sliced
1 knob of ginger sliced thinly 
1 tablespoon of chopped garlic 
2-3 tablespoon of oyster sauce
1 tablespoon of soya sauce 
1/4 cup of chinese wine (or ginger wine)
dash of white pepper
maybe 1/4 cup of water 

Heat pan up. Lightly coat pork with corn flour. Meanwhile sizzle ginger and garlic. Cook pork through adding seasoning and water if needed. Simmer for 5 minutes (NOT 10!) and quickly toss through spring onions. Serve hot with rice and veges.

  1. You should tell AR that this is so called "multi-tasking". We ladies have this kind of power. We should proud of it! :P

  2. Agreed that multitasking in the kitchen can sometimes lead to overcooking, but that's where half the fun is - in the challenge! :D

  5. Women are like that, we just born to do lot of things at once so that we won't waste time. You can save it you know, just add more water and simmer it for 1-2 hours, then it will turn soft again. But then, who can wait an extra two hours for dinner? :P
