Ingredients
Directions
- Using a sharp knife, cut the pork against the grain into 1/16 ” (1.5mm) thick slices, or as thin as possible. (Optionally, the pork can be placed in the freezer for about 1 hour to help make slicing easier). Add the sliced pork into a medium bowl and toss with the cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Shake off the excess cornstarch and add the pork to the hot pan to sear for 2 minutes per side.
- Add the onions and almost all of the sliced jalapenos, reserving a few slices for garnish, and toss constantly for 1 minute until the onion and jalapeno begin to soften.
- Add the sugar, soy sauce and vinegar and toss constantly until the sauce reduces into a glossy syrup coating all of the pork.
- Turn off the heat, add the garlic and toss until aromatic and evenly distributed.
- Plate the cooked pork in a bowl and garnish with the sliced jalapeno and green onion.
