Savory Pork Mince and Broccoli Stir-fry
This savory stir-fry draws inspiration from East Asian cuisine, combining the comforting flavors of pork mince with the crunchy, fresh texture of broccoli. It's a quick, nutritious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil - preferably peanut or sesame for extra flavor- 500 grams pork mince - choose lean for a healthier option
- 3 cups broccoli florets - fresh and crisp
3 cloves garlic - minced
1 tablespoon ginger - freshly grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce - low-sodium is recommended
1 tablespoon oyster sauce - adds a rich, umami flavor
1 teaspoon cornstarch - mixed with 2 tablespoons of water for thickening
1 teaspoon sesame oil - optional, for flavor
Instructions
- Heat a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat the entire surface.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant and slightly golden.
- Increase the heat to high and add the pork mince. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the pork is fully browned and any moisture has evaporated.
- Add the broccoli florets. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is vibrant green and tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch slurry. Pour over the pork and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off the heat and drizzle the optional sesame oil for additional flavor. Give a final stir and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Notes
For a spicier dish, consider adding a dash of chili flakes or a sliced red chili with the garlic and ginger. If you prefer a less meaty dish, increase the broccoli by another cup and reduce the pork by 100 grams.
