Pork Stir Fry (How to Velvet Pork)

Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the steps on how to velvet pork for stir fry:

1. Cut the pork into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the pork strips with the following ingredients:

   • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
   • 1 tablespoon water
   • 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
   • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
   • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
   • 1/4 teaspoon salt
   • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper

3. Mix well to coat the pork strips with the marinade.

4. Let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

5. When you are ready to stir fry, heat a wok or large skillet over high heat.

6. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok.

7. Add the pork strips and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.

8. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.

9. Add the remaining ingredients to the wok and stir fry for 1-2 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

10. Return the pork to the wok and stir fry to combine.

11. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

The baking soda in the marinade helps to tenderize the pork, while the cornstarch helps to coat the pork and prevent it from sticking to the wok. The marinade also adds flavor to the pork.

Here are some tips for velveting pork:

• Use a good quality pork. I like to use pork tenderloin or pork loin for stir fry.
• Cut the pork into thin strips. This will help the pork cook evenly and quickly.
• Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the pork absorb the flavors of the marinade.
• Don't overcook the pork. The pork should be cooked through, but it should still be tender.
• Serve the pork stir fry immediately. This will help the pork stay moist and flavorful.

I hope this helps!
