Garlic Shoots Stir-Fried with Shredded Pork

About This Recipe

This Stir-Fried Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Scapes is a savory, aromatic dish that highlights the natural sweetness of pork and the fresh, garlicky bite of scapes. Tender pork strips are quickly stir-fried with fragrant scallion flowers, then enhanced with a blend of Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar for a perfect balance of tangy and sweet. The garlic scapes are added later to retain their crisp texture and vibrant flavor. The key to this dish is the careful layering of seasonings—just enough salt to enhance the scapes without overpowering the pork, and a touch of sugar to round out the flavors. Quick, high-heat cooking ensures juicy pork and crisp-tender scapes, finished with a glossy, savory-sweet glaze. A must-try for lovers of bold, umami-rich stir-fries!

Step 2
Heat oil in a wok, add the scallion flowers and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the pork strips and stir-fry until they change color. Add vinegar and stir-fry, then add Shaoxing wine and stir-fry, followed by soy sauce and stir-fry. Finally, add a spoonful of sugar and stir-fry, then dish out.

Step 3
Clean the wok, add more oil, and pour in the garlic scapes without heating the oil. Stir-fry until they are 50% cooked, then add the stir-fried pork strips and continue to stir-fry until they are 80% cooked. Add a small amount of salt, being careful not to add too much, as this will make the garlic scapes taste good but the pork strips too salty. Add one and a half spoonfuls of sugar and a small amount of water, and stir-fry until the water is dry and the oil is emitted, then dish out.
