Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the ingredients. Here are the possible substitutes for some of the ingredients:
- Pork: Beef and chicken also works well in this recipe. However you need to make sure not to cook the beef for too long or chicken for too short.
- Brown Sugar: White sugar works fine, but the dish might not be as caramelized as how you want them to be.
- Sweet Soy Sauce: More soy sauce mixed with brown sugar! For every tablespoon of soy sauce, just add one teaspoon of brown sugar.
- 2
Cut the protein however you prefer —I like to cut them into strips like this with around 8-10mm width.
Thicker chunks would mean longer marinating and cooking time, thinner chunks would risk it to be dry during stir-frying.
- 3
Mix the protein with the marinade thoroughly. For this kind of cut, cover and put in the fridge for at least 1.5 hours.
- 4
Prepare the aromatics. Cut the green or spring onions into 2-3cm cuts, onion halved and sliced into 8-10mm slices, and mince the garlic.
- 5
Prepare the sweet soy sauce (I’m using Healthy Boy brand from
Thailand) and lime/lemon juice
- 6
Now to the fun part! Heat 1tbsp of oil in the pan over medium-high heat, and stir fry the aromatics until they smell GOOD. Then take them out and put on the side before they’re in the consistency you want to eat them in as they will cook again later.
- 7
After taking them out, add 1tbsp of oil again to the same pan, then add your protein. Make sure you lower the heat before so the outsides wouldn’t burn as you put them in. Flip halfway and make sure they’re cooked all the way through.
- 8
Add the aromatics back into the pan, and add the sweet soy sauce and lime/lemon juice just before they’re taken out of the pan.
- 9
Voilà! Serve hot with some rice and veggies on the side.

Sweet & Savory Shiitake Mushroom, Green Pepper, and Pork Belly Stir-fry Sweet & Savory Shiitake Mushroom, Green Pepper, and Pork Belly Stir-fry
This recipe originated from the "Sweet & Salty Green Pepper Stir-fry" recipe which I used to make for my children's lunch all the time. Then one day, I thought that they didn't have enough meat in their lunch, so I added pork belly and the flavor became so much better! Then I decided to add shiitake mushrooms in order to increase the volume and the nutrition content, and because they go well with a sweet & savory stir-fry.Steps 3-4: As the liquid decreases, it may start to burn, so adjust the heat accordingly.Rather than waiting until the liquid evaporates completely, it's best to stop the heat once it becomes slightly thickened.I use an induction stove top.

Easy Sweet & Sour Pork Stir Fry(-ish) for 2 Easy Sweet & Sour Pork Stir Fry(-ish) for 2
Sweet and Sour Pork usually involves some deep-frying as well as stir frying. This version involves a little bit of pan frying with stir frying, taking the inconvenience of the deep fry out of the equation. You won't get the same deep-fried crunch of a super fresh order of the traditional preparation, but seriously - when do you ever get it so freshly made it's not a soggy gloppy mess anyway? :PThis hits all the major notes - sweet, sour, and fried - with a little less effort, oil, time, and glop. :)
