Ingredients
- 18 oz pork loin steaks (500g) cut into thin slices
- 2 tbsp peanut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 lemongrass stalk (white part only, thinly sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 2 Thai chillies (red or green - deseeded and sliced thinly)
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
Instructions
- Add the lemongrass, garlic, chillies, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce and white pepper to a small blender along with 3/4 cup water and blend until smooth.A bullet blender or handheld immersion blender are best for this task.
- Heat the oil in a wok until just smoking. Add the pork and stir fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly charred.
- Add the stir fry sauce and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes (the sauce will bubble furiously) until the pork is cooked and the sauce reduced and thickended.
- Remove from the heat and serve.

- In addition to being a delicious stir-fry sauce, this sauce can also serve as a fantastic marinade for meat and seafood.
- For optimal freshness, it is recommended to consume this dish immediately. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- If you plan to store them for a longer period, you can freeze them for 2-3 months. When reheating leftovers in a microwave, add 1/4 cup of water to prevent them from drying out.
- For meat such as pork chops, steaks, and chicken, simply cover the meat with the sauce and marinate in a plastic bag for 24 hours, then cook on a hot grill or in the oven.
- For seafood, you can marinate shrimp in the sauce for 30 minutes, skewer them, and grill them on a BBQ grill for a few minutes on each side. Alternatively, you can use the sauce as a pour-over sauce for baked or steamed fish.
