Ingredients:

125 g Pork strips

250 g Caned straw mushrooms

1 tbsp. Oyster sauce

1 tsp. Cornstarch

1 cup Water

1 tbsp. Cooking oil

¼ tsp. Black pepper powder

½ tsp. Sesame oil

4 cloves Garlic (minced)

1 medium Onion (chopped)

1 tbsp. Mirin wine

Salt (to taste)

Cooking Instructions:

Heat cooking oil in a saucepan. Sauté in the hot oil, the garlic and onion until garlic and onions together until the onion becomes translucent and begins to caramelize. Add the pork strips and stir fry until pork is coloured as if it were blanched. Add the water from the canned mushrooms and mirin, cover to simmer until pork is tender. You may add water as needed in order to tenderize the meat if the water from the canned mushroom is not enough for cooking. Make sure that the liquid is about half a cup when the meat is cooked.

In a small bowl, place cornstarch and add 1 cup water and mix well to suspend the starch. Make sure there are no lumps left of the cornstarch. Add oyster sauce and sesame oil into the mixture.

In the saucepan with the cooked meat, add black pepper and the sauce mixture prepared in the preceding section and stir well. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and the starch is cooked. Add salt to taste and serve.
