Meat Recipes - Pork With Bamboo Shoots

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2lb (700g) pork tenderloin, cut across the grain into thin strips

  • 1/3 cup (75ml) soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry

  • 2 tsp cornstarch

  • 2/3 cup (150ml) groundnut or peanut oil

  • 1 leek, thinly sliced crosswise on the diagonal

  • 1lb (450g) bamboo shoots, thinly sliced on the diagonal

  • 2 tsp sugar


Method:

  1. Put the pork strips in a bowl. Combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the rice wine or sherry and cornstarch until they are well blended, and pour over the pork. Toss the strips gently to coat them thoroughly. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes, basting occasionally.

  2. Heat  a large frying-pan over high heat for 30 seconds. Add the oil and swirl it around the pan. Add the pork and leek and fry for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the bamboo shoots. Stir in the remaining soy sauce and sugar, reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a warmed serving bowl and serve at once.
