It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Mongolian Pork

[heart_this] · Jan 18, 2024 · Leave a Comment

Mongolian Pork

A light and tasty stir-fry pork in a tasty Mongolian beef style sauce!

One of my favourite things about Chinese style takeout recipes is that you can so easily change things up! This Mongolian pork is a simple meat swap on the classic Mongolian Beef dish where the thin strips of beef are replaced with thin strips of pork! You can use pork tenderloin, pork loin or even pork should/butt. The recipe is just as easy to make as the original, where you stir-fry the pork, add the sauce and simmer for a minute to thicken before enjoying! I like to add a veggie and a diced bell pepper is easy to add to the pan to stir-fry with the pork!

A light and easy pork stir-fry in a tasty Mongolian beef style sauce!

ingredients
  • 1 pound pork (tenderloin, or loin, or butt/shoulder), cut into bite sized thin strips
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced and divided into lights and greens
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (gluten-free for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce (such as sambal oelek or sriracha) (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced/grated
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced/grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth (link)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
directions
  1. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the pork and saute until just cooked, about 2-4 minutes.
  2. Add the bell pepper and the lights of the green onions and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the mixture of the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, chili sauce, garlic, ginger, cornstarch and water to the pan and cook until it thickens a bit, about a minute.
  4. Remove from heat, mix in the sesame oil, sesame seeds and the green onions.
Tip: Place the pork in the freezer for 20 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly! You want the pork to stiffen up a bit but not freeze it.
