Onion Pork

Pork is the most commonly consumed meat in my family. One of the pork dishes which I created for my family is Onion Pork. It is a naturally sweet dish with the sweetness coming from both the onions and the pork. Sometimes I maintain the crunchiness of the onions in the dish while at other times I cook till the onions are soft. Sometimes I buy pork loin while at other times I use pork tenderloin (also known as pork fillet) which is softer as compared to the pork loin. (Please refer to the diagram below for the various pork cuts. If you wish to know how to cook the various cuts, kindly visit https://modernfarmer.com.)


Ingredients:

• 300 g pork loin or tenderloin, sliced thinly across the grains
• 1 big onion, sliced into rings
• a few stalks of spring onion, cut into 1-inch length
• sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• water
• salt
• pepper
• light soy sauce
• dark soy sauce

Method:

• Heat up the wok with sesame oil.
• Saute the garlic till it is fragrant.
• Add the pork and fry till they are almost cook.
• Add 3-4 spoonfuls of water so that the meat is not too dry.
• Add the onions. (If you want them to be crunchy, add them when the pork is almost cooked. If you want the onions to be very soft, add them when the pork is half-cooked.)
• Add salt, pepper and light soy sauce according to taste.
• Add 1 quarter of a teaspoon of dark soy sauce to give the dish some colour.
• Add the spring onion and stir for 1-2 minutes.
• Dish out the pork and onions and serve them hot with white rice.
