My family members loves pork more than chicken, mutton or lamb. However, they avoid consuming beef at home; they seldom take beef outside too. One of the easiest way to cook pork is to cook it with black pepper sauce.
Ingredients:
- 300 g lean pork
- ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- salt (according to taste)
- 2 tbsp black pepper sauce (store-bought)
- a sprig of parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
Method:
- Slice lean pork thinly.
- Season with ground black pepper, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil and salt for 30 minutes
- Chop up garlic.
- Heat wok with cooking oil.
- Add in the garlic and fry till fragrant.
- Add in the seasoned meat.
- Stir fry till they are cooked, adding some water, bit by bit, as we do not want the dish to be too watery.
- Once cooked, add in the black pepper sauce (store-bought).
- Stir until the sauce boils.
- Dish onto a serving place and decorate with parsley.
Note: If you do not have ready store-bough black pepper sauce, you may make it yourself:
Ingredients:
- A few cloves of garlic, chopped and pounded.
- Water
- Salt
- Black pepper powder
- Cornstarch
- Cooking oil
Method:
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add garlic to the oil and stir it till it is fragrant.
- Add some water, salt and pepper. Stir constantly until the sauce simmers.
- Mix some water with cornstarch and stir till the cornstarch dissolves in the water.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture to the sauce, stirring continuously till the sauce thickens.
- The sauce is ready to be used.
