Instructions
- Pork chops tend to come in thicknesses either around 1/2 inch thick or an inch thick. If you are working with a thick boneless pork chop, start by slicing it into two thin layers, horizontally. If starting with pork loin, cut slices 1/2 inch thick.,Put the slices under some plastic wrap or wax paper and pound them thin with a rubber mallet, meat mallet, or even an empty wine bottle. This will help tenderize the meat. The slices should be about 1/4 inch thick.,Cut the pork across the grain into thin strips, about 1 1/2 inches long.
- Put the soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the pork strips to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat completely. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large sauté pan on high heat. When the oil is hot (shimmering but not smoking) add the garlic slices and stir-fry until they begin to turn brown at the edges, about 30 seconds.,Add the pork strips and stir-fry until the pork changes color, about 90 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Add the sliced green onions and continue to stir-fry for another minute, or until the green onions wilt. Turn off the heat and stir in the sesame oil, if using.
- Serve immediately. Serve alone (paleo and low carb), or with rice.
