Ingredients

For the Pork

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp chili oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin

For the Sauce

  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • ½ tbsp minced ginger
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • ½ tsp ground ginger

For the Lo Mein

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 package dry lo mein or chow mein stir fry noodles, about 6 oz
  • 1 cup snow peas or sugar snap peas, halved
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 cup raw cabbage, cut into strips
  • 1 14 oz can bean sprouts, drained (optional)
  • 2 large green onions, sliced

Instructions

  • Mix the marinade ingredients together for the pork and stir in the sliced pork fillet. Set aside.
  • Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients to make the stir fry sauce and set aside.
  • Boil the noodles as per the package instructions. Strain and rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil over high heat. Add the snow peas, carrot and cabbage, and cook, stirring often until the carrot is becoming tender and the cabbage is starting to soften and color. Stir in the bean sprouts and cook for a further few minutes until they are tender, but still retain some crunch. This will take longer using fresh bean sprouts instead of canned (see note). Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and cook the pork until just cooked through. This should only take a minute or two. Return the vegetables and stir in the noodles.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the sauce, stirring until the noodles are well coated and glossy. Stir in the sliced green onions just before serving.

Notes

  1. Oyster sauce can be found in large grocery stores, Asian grocery stores or online. Lee Kum See is a good brand. 
  2. If you have access to fresh bean sprouts, which are preferable in this recipe but harder to find, sub in 8 oz fresh. 
  3. Leftovers can be kept covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
