Home-cooked: stir-fried spinach with tomato and pork

What you need:
  • spinach, cut into bite-sized portions
  • tomato, cut into chunks
  • pork, sliced thinly
  • garlic, minced
  • oyster sauce
  • light soya sauce
  • water, depending how much gravy you want
  • salt to taste
How to cook:
  1. before cooking, marinade sliced pork with oyster sauce and light soya sauce for at least an hour
  2. to cook, heat a wok with some cooking oil, about 3 tbsp, in low to medium heat
  3. add in garlic, stir-fry until fragrant
  4. then add in marinated pork and stir-fry until nearly cooked
  5. add in tomato and spinach, continue to stir-fry a bit before pouring in some water
  6. after pouring in the water, cover with a hood and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 mins
  7. after removing the hood, add salt to taste and continue to stir it until cooked and ready to be served
Note:
If you had marinated the pork with enough oyster and light soya sauce, the dish will be tasty as the marinated juice will be transferred to the dish itself. Hence you need to taste it before adding salt.
