Materials
This simple yet incredibly delicious stir-fried pork tenderloin with onions is perfect with rice, tortillas, or noodles. Here are the steps:
Preparing the pork tenderloin: Wash the pork tenderloin and slice it thinly against the grain (or cut it into strips). Gently pound it with the back of a knife to tenderize it (this makes it easier for the marinade to penetrate). Marinating: Add light soy sauce, cooking wine, white pepper powder, cornstarch, and egg white to the pork slices. Mix well and marinate for 10 minutes (to lock in moisture and keep it tender).
Preparing the onions: Peel and slice or dice the onions, then soak them in cold water for 5 minutes (to reduce the spiciness and make them crisper and sweeter after cooking).
Stir-frying: Stir-fry the sliced meat: Heat a wok with a generous amount of oil (use plenty of oil), add the marinated meat slices and stir-fry quickly until they change color. Remove and set aside. Key point: Stir-fry over high heat to prevent the meat from becoming tough. Sauté the aromatics: Leave some oil in the wok, sauté the garlic slices until fragrant, then add the onion slices and stir-fry over medium heat until translucent (about 2 minutes). Mix the seasonings: Add the stir-fried meat slices, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir-fry over high heat until evenly mixed. If you prefer a savory flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of sweet bean sauce or black pepper sauce.
To serve: Sprinkle with shredded green and red bell peppers for color, stir-fry a few times and it's ready to serve (it's best if the onions are still slightly crisp).
Alternative methods: Black pepper and onion pork tenderloin: Add black pepper powder when marinating the meat, and drizzle with black pepper sauce while stir-frying. Teriyaki flavor: Replace oyster sauce and dark soy sauce with 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce; the sauce will be richer after reducing. Low-fat version: Stir-fry with less oil, and use chicken breast instead of pork tenderloin.
Serving suggestion: Serve with rice, wraps, or noodles. The sweetness of the onions blends perfectly with the aroma of the meat, a simple and homey dish that's incredibly delicious with rice! 🍳
