Stir-Fried Kai-Lan Stems With Pork And Mushrooms  

Posted by: Julia in

Ingredients :
  • 3 to 5 kai-lan stems (lightly scrape the layer of skin from the stem and slice diagonally)
  • 50 grammes of pork tenderloin (sliced thinly)
  • 2 to 3 pre-soaked chinese mushrooms
  • 4 cloves garlic (chopped finely)
  • 1 tablespoon of palm oil
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 teaspoons cornflour mixed with 1/2 cup water to make corn starch
Marinade for Pork :
  • 2 teaspoon light soya sauce
  • a pinch of white pepper powder
  • 1 teaspoon corn flour
Seasoning :
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 teaspoons chinese cooking wine (optional)
  • A dash of white pepper powder
Directions :
  1. Marinade pork tenderloin for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat oil in wok and fry garlic till beginning to brown. Remove garlic from oil.
  3. Add pork tenderloin and chinese mushrooms into remaining oil in wok and stir fry for 1 minute. Add kai-lan stems and pre-fried garlic and stir-fry briskly for 1 minute. Add one or two teaspoons of warm water to prevent burning.
  4. Add seasoning (except chinese cooking wine) followed by remainder of water and cover lid. Allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes whilst checking occasionally for drying out of gravy.
  5. Once the stems have more or less turned to a darker colour, add chinese cooking wine and stir well. If the sauce is too thin to your liking, add a little bit of corn starch to thicken it.
  6. Dish out and serve with white rice.
