Words by Lace Zang: This is a perennial crowd pleasure that is incredibly easy and quick to put together. It features thin slices of tender pork, coated with a sweet and salty sauce, mixed with strips of ginger, its flowing warmth permeating every bite. A final flourish of sesame oil and Chinese rice wine towards the end of cooking helps bring out the flavours.

- 1 ½ tbsp soy sauce, dark
- Sesame oil, as needed

- 10g fresh ginger, pealed and cut into matchsticks
- 1 tbsp rice wine (optional)
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced
PREPARATION
- Place the pork in a bowl and season with the soy sauces, 1 tsp sesame oil and corn starch. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
- Place a wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 ½ tbsp. sesame oil and give it a swirl to coat the surface of the wok.
