Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: - 400-500 g pork tenderloin - 1 red bell pepper - 1 green bell pepper - 1-2 carrots - 2-3 green onions - 2-3 celery stalks - 2 cloves of garlic - 1 small zucchini - 1 chili pepper (optional, for extra spiciness) - 100 g pineapple (fresh or canned, drained) - 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 teaspoon oyster sauce - 1 teaspoon hot sauce (if you like a spicier flavor) - 1 teaspoon ginger sugar (or brown sugar) - Salt and pepper to taste Cooking technique: The preparation of this pork in Chinese style is based on the "stir-fry" method, a quick and efficient technique that preserves the nutrients and flavors of the ingredients. Here’s how to proceed: 1. Preparing the ingredients: - Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1 cm wide. This allows the heat to penetrate quickly and evenly, giving you tender and juicy meat. - Wash and cut the vegetables: the red and green bell peppers into strips, the carrot into rounds or thin strips, the celery into 2-3 cm pieces, the green onions into rounds, and the zucchini into cubes. Don’t forget to remove the seeds from the chili pepper if you choose to use it. - If you are using fresh pineapple, peel and cut it into cubes. 2. Marinating the meat: - In a bowl, mix the pork strips with 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of ginger sugar, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes. This marinade will add depth and flavor to your meat. 3. Cooking: - In a pan or wok, heat a little oil (preferably peanut oil or vegetable oil) over high heat. Add the marinated meat and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns golden and cooks evenly. - Remove the meat from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan, add the vegetables: first the carrot, celery, and bell peppers, cooking for a few minutes, then add the zucchini and pineapple. - Once the vegetables start to soften, add the green onions and chopped garlic, stirring everything for 1-2 minutes. The garlic will add a deep and pleasant aroma to the dish. 4. Finishing the dish: - Put the meat back in the pan, add the remaining soy sauce and hot sauce, stirring well to combine the flavors. Cook everything together for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients. 5. Serving: - Plate and drizzle a bit of soy sauce on top for extra flavor. You can garnish with toasted sesame seeds or fresh coriander leaves if desired. Practical tips: - Make sure all the ingredients are prepared and cut before you start cooking, as the cooking process is quick and you won’t want to waste time looking for an ingredient. - If you want to reduce calories, you can use lean pork or even replace the meat with tofu for a vegetarian option. - You can adjust the spiciness of the recipe according to your preferences by adding less or more hot sauce. Nutritional benefits: This dish is rich in protein due to the pork tenderloin, and the vegetables add essential fiber and vitamins. The pineapple not only brings a sweet taste but also enzymes that aid digestion. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use other vegetables? Yes, you can experiment with your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli, peas, or mushrooms. - What kind of side dish goes well with this dish? Boiled rice or fried rice are excellent side dishes that perfectly complement this dish. - How can I store leftovers? You can keep the dish in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or in a pan. In conclusion, this Chinese-style pork recipe is a perfect choice for a quick, delicious, and flavorful dinner. Whether you serve it with rice or enjoy it on its own, it will surely delight you. Enjoy your meal!
