Ingredients

  • 200 g thinly sliced skinless pork belly (about 3 mm thick)
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 green capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 225 g can bamboo shoots, drained
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornflour mixed with ¼ cup cold water (plus extra if necessary)
Meat marinade
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • pinch of white pepper
  • pinch of bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp cornflour
Marinating time: 10 minutes

Instructions

  1. Cut the strips into 5 cm pieces and in a medium bowl, combine with the meat marinade ingredients. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a wok over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the capsicum and bamboo shoots and toss until lightly wilted. Remove from the wok to a plate, reserving the oil in the wok.
  3. Add the ginger and the marinated pork and fry for 4 minutes, or until the pork is browned. Add the garlic and return the capsicum and bamboo shoots to the wok.
