Stir Fried Pork Fillets with Honey and Ginger
Day 3 of the stir fry series and it will be Honey, Lemon and Ginger combination, which in my personal opinion is one of the great combination of flavours ever discovered. It can be used in sweet desserts and drinks (hot or cold), this concoction not only tastes good but it has a lot of health benefits that is why its tea version is the best cold and flu home remedy. Lemon contains a lot of Vitamin C, Ginger have a good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and Honey helps you to boost your immune system, mixing them together will yield a very potent potion to cure that bad viruses away. Having known that why don’t we use this as a base flavour for a savoury dish to have these health benefits in a plate and what a better way to use that on a simple stir fried pork and scallions.
Ingredients
500g pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
3 spring onions, sliced
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp honey
juice from 1 lemon
peanut oil
salt
freshly ground black pepper
Ingredients (Marinade)
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp five-spice powder
2 tbsp ginger paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp baking soda
Method
1. Combine all marinade ingredients then pour mixture over the pork, set it aside and let it marinate for at least an hour.
2. Prepare a really hot wok then add peanut oil. Stir fry pork in small batches in very high heat, it would only take at max 1 minute per batch, once a batch is cooked set it aside.
3. Bring all cooked pork together then add the soy sauce, water, honey and scallions. Stir fry for 1 more minute turn off heat, pour lemon juice on wok, and give it a mix then serve.
I look forward to trying this
My aunt used to cook this all the time! Will try this out and see which is better, haha! Will tell you when I do. XD
Ooh, I would be happy in your house to be sampling these stir fry!
Honey and ginger are a great combo into cooking and that outcome with these ingredients are simply obvious. Nice outcome and simply drooling.
Sounds good!
Like to try cooking this one. Can we use chicken with this recipe?
Definitely Chicken is a good alternative
I agree with you about the honey, lemon, and ginger … well, maybe just a little garlic in there too, especially in savory dishes. Another fantastic stir fry!
This goes immediately on my lists of things too try ASAP!
I’m drooling over here! This is an absolutely fantastic photo my friend, I want to eat this stuff right away!
This is definitely one of my favorite flavor combinations – and that photo is making me drool!
Great looking dish and totally loving the marinate.
I am in love, I am in love, I am in love with this dish. I can’t wait to make it..
Wonderful flavor combo and a beautiful stir fry!
So succulent looking!
These Stir-fried meat dishes of yours always makes me hungry!
It looks soo yummy! I will try it soon! Cheers!
I LOVE marinated meat like this, the glaze it gets is just so pretty – and delicious!
good combination. i believe in lemon, ginger and honey… i’ve never had them combined in a dish though.. great idea.
Oh my gosh, now that’s one I’d have in a heartbeat – just look at the wonderful colour of the glaze, and I like the combination of pork and ginger!
This looks awesome Raymund!! **Drool…***
Awesome recipe. I can’t wait to try it!! Maybe I’ll give it a go with chicken or shrimp.
I love how lacquered that pork ended up looking. While I usually drink honey ginger tea, I’d never thought to make a glaze for pork with it. Great idea!
You just never fail to make my mouth water. Why oh why can’t someone cook that at home for me. O_O
