Chinese Leek Shredded Pork (韭黄肉丝) — a Cantonese Chinese recipe made with pork tenderloin, ready in about 15 minutes. Step-by-step instructions with photos.

Ingredients

• pork tenderloin, julienned
• Chinese leek shoots (jiǔ huáng), cut into 4 cm pieces
• light soy sauce
• Shaoxing wine
• cornstarch
• egg white
• neutral oil
• sesame oil

Instructions

1. Cut pork into 5 cm × 3 mm strips. Toss with Shaoxing wine, egg white, and cornstarch. Let sit 15 minutes.
2. Trim the root ends and any wilted outer leaves from the Chinese leeks. Cut into 4 cm lengths.
3. Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add pork and sear 20 seconds. Stir-fry until just cooked through.
4. Add Chinese leeks and light soy sauce. Toss vigorously for 30 seconds — the leeks should just wilt, not collapse.
5. Drizzle sesame oil, toss once, and serve immediately.
