Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 300g pork jowl, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch piece ginger, julienned
• 2 stalks spring onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce (for marinade)
• 1 tsp sesame oil (for marinade)
• 1/4 tsp white pepper (for marinade)
• 1 tsp cornstarch (for marinade)
• 2 tbsp honey (for glaze)
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce (for glaze)
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce (for glaze)
• 1 tsp oyster sauce (for glaze)
• 2 tbsp water (for glaze)
• 1 tsp rice vinegar (for glaze)

Steps

1. Marinate the thinly sliced pork jowl with light soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and cornstarch for 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the honey glaze sauce by combining honey, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Stir well.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add the marinated pork jowl and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pork jowl from the wok and set aside.
4. In the same wok, add minced garlic and julienned ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
5. Return the cooked pork jowl to the wok. Pour in the prepared honey glaze sauce.
6. Stir-fry quickly, ensuring the pork jowl is evenly coated with the sauce, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and glistens.
7. Add the cut spring onions and toss briefly. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
