Pork Stir Fry

Serves 4 Prep 15 mins Cook 12 mins Total 27 mins

Here is our working pork stir fry for Scoops & Dishes: no doorway fluff, just a cookable page with Australian metric detail and notes that prevent the usual failures. Plan on 27 mins from starting prep to plating for 4. Prep is about 15 mins; the active cook or oven time is closer to 12 mins. Read the whole method once before you turn on the heat. Key building blocks: pork fillet, soy sauce and oyster sauce. If you need a substitute, change one thing at a time and expect the texture notes below to matter more than the timer. One practical flag before you start: Slice pork against the grain for tenderness. The Notes section expands shopping, heat, texture, and leftovers so the page stays useful beyond a bare ingredient dump. Method opens with: “Toss pork with soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil.”. Follow the order as written; jumping ahead is how pans crowd and sauces split.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Toss pork with soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil.
  2. Heat half the oil in a wok. Stir-fry pork until just cooked; remove.
  3. Add remaining oil, garlic and ginger. Stir-fry vegetables 3–4 minutes.
  4. Return pork, add cornflour slurry and toss until sauce thickens. Serve with rice.

Tip: Slice pork against the grain for tenderness.

Notes

  • Putting it together for Pork Stir Fry: work clean, taste as you go, and do not rush browning or reduction steps if they appear in the method. If you are cooking for mixed diets, plate sauces and toppings separately where practical. Keep this page bookmarked if it becomes a household regular — we update wording when cooks report a confusing step. Metric consistency across Scoops & Dishes means once you trust the cups and scales here, breakfast through dessert behaves the same way.
  • Make-ahead and leftovers: feeds a small table as written; bump quantities if you are feeding a crew. Leftovers of Pork Stir Fry usually keep 2–3 days in a sealed fridge container; reheat until steaming hot in the centre. Label freezer bags with the dish name and date. Allergens sit in the ingredient list — always double-check if cooking for guests.
  • Kitchen sense: wash hands and boards after handling raw meat or eggs. Do not leave cooked pork stir fry at room temperature for hours. Reheat leftovers until piping hot in the centre. These notes are general home-cooking guidance, not medical or food-safety certification advice.
  • Shopping and mise en place: read the full ingredient list once before you start. For Pork Stir Fry, pork fillet and soy sauce are the items that decide whether the dish tastes flat or properly seasoned. Weigh where grams are given — volume cups are fine for liquids and some dry goods, but baking ratios are tighter if you use scales. Australian cups are 250 ml; a tablespoon is 20 ml and a teaspoon is 5 ml.
