Felt like having minced pork today and I have frozen vegetables: carrots, corns and peas. I have cooked a big batch so that I can eat it later with my favourite shin ram yun noodles or kwonlow mee.

This is a simple daily dish that mostly my mom would cook it so that we have some food to eat. This is a dry stir fry with no sauce to coat with rice, something different. The marinade of the pork is simple. It a must have oyster sauce, light soy sauce and sesame oil and of course other marinade which I do love to change about.

I am just loving pork minced as it can be added to noodles the next day or even wrap in rice paper rolls however the vegetables for rice paper rolls would vary from many dishes. But let just cook it to go with rice for now and tomorrow can add to either packet noodles or fried eggs. I am glad my dish looks colourful, taste delicious and comforting to eat it with just rice. Let’s cook!!!

Ingredients

500 g minced pork
200 g mixed vegetables
2-3 Tbs Shoa Xing Chinese cooking wine
1 Tbs minced garlic
1 Tsp ginger, diced
1-3 Tbs oil
salt
pepper

Pork minced marinade

2 Tsp cornflour
2 Tsp light soy sauce
1/2 Tbs oyster sauce
1 Tsp ginger powder
2 Tsp sesame oil
1 Tsp chicken stock powder
4 Tbs water

Method

In a large bowl mix the marinade for pork until well combined. Add pork, tossing it in the marinade and make sure meat are covered. Let stand at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.

Heat deep pans on medium high heat and add 1 Tbs oil. When the oil is hot, add garlic, and cook until fragrant about 25 seconds. Then add 1 Tbs oil again, ginger; stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it softens. Add the marinated pork and let brown about 5-8 minutes or until no more pink colour.

Then add 1 Tbs of oil, Shao Xing Chinese cooking wine, mixed vegetables and cook about 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper, toss to mix well until pork, and mixed vegetables are cooked and softened. Check seasoning.

Once minced pork and vegetables are cooked, spoon it into an oval deep plate. Serve with rice and a beer today. Enjoy the comfort meal!!!!
