Ingredients
- 1 lb pork loin thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup carrots sliced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- Steamed rice for serving
- Green onions sliced, for garnish
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb of thinly sliced pork loin with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the marinated pork to the skillet and spread it out in a single layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until it turns golden and crispy.
- Flip the pork slices and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked through.
- Push the pork to one side of the skillet and add 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1 sliced bell pepper, and 1 cup of sliced carrots to the other side. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Combine the vegetables with the pork, toss everything together, and cook for another minute.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Pour this mixture into the skillet to create a glossy sauce. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.
- Serve the Crispy Garlic Pork Stir-Fry over steamed rice and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

I don’t like vegetables, so I skipped the broccoli and bell pepper. Still came out tasty 😄
Yummy! But is oyster sauce really necessary? I didn’t have any and it still turned out fine.
Crispy garlic? More like soggy garlic! 🤨 Not impressed.
I think you might’ve overcooked it! 😅 Garlic needs just a minute, otherwise, it can get soggy. Try again!
Nah, it’s not soggy if you do it right. U gotta follow the steps. Maybe you just didn’t cook it long enough? 🤷♂️
It was okay, but I found the pork a bit chewy. Maybe I needed to cook it longer?
This was a hit with my family! The flavors are amazing, I added a bit of extra garlic.
This dish looked nothing like the picture. My stir-fry was soggy, did I do something wrong?
