Scallion-Braised Shredded Pork
This quick home-style dish features tender strips of pork loin cooked with garlic and large scallion. The pork is marinated so it turns tender and silky, then cooked until fragrant and savory.
Ingredients
- 200 g shredded pork (pork loin)
- 1 section large scallion (da cong)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
Steps
- 1
Prepare the ingredients: 200 g pork loin, 1 section large scallion, and 2 cloves garlic.

Cut the pork loin into shreds; slice the large scallion lengthwise into thin strips; mince the garlic.
- 3
Add 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons water to the shredded pork, then mix evenly to marinate. The water helps make the meat more tender and silky; work the water into the meat with your hands until it is fully absorbed.

Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch and mix well.

Once evenly mixed, add 1 tablespoon oil at the end (peanut oil or corn oil both work).
- 7
Heat oil in a wok or pan and add the minced garlic.
- 8
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the marinated shredded pork.
- 9
Stir-fry until the pork is no longer pink; it should have turned a deep brown color.
- 10
Add the shredded large scallion to enhance the aroma.
- 11
Cook until the large scallion becomes fragrant; then it is done.
- 12
Give it a few more stirs, then remove from the pan.

The finished dish looks like this. Enjoy!
