Recipe - Stir Fry Pork With Ginger

Pork stir fry is a simple and nutritious dish that anyone can whip up in minutes. It can be turned into a complete meal by adding vegetables for added nutrition and eaten with rice or noodles. If pork is not suitable, substitute it with other meat like chicken or even seafood.

For variety, fruits like pineapple can be added to give the dish a tangy taste.

Nowadays, I can get the frozen lean pork which comes in convenient packet of 250 grams and are already nicely sliced thinly. Just defrost the pork and marinate.

In this recipe, I marinate the sliced pork with oyster sauce, light soy, dark soy and sesame oil. A little bit of sugar is added for taste. A spoonful of corn flour is added in the marinade to soften the meat. Ginger and garlic add flavour to the dish.

Ingredients:
250 grams, lean pork, sliced

Marinade:

lettuce

1 tsp of oyster soy
1 tsp of light soy
1 tsp of dark sauce
1 tsp of sugar
A few drops of sesame oil
1 tbs of corn flour

1 tbs of oil for frying
Spring onion for garnishing
Lettuce for garnishing

1 thumb of ginger, julienne
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Method:
In a bowl, mix the pork with the marinade and let it sit for about 15 minutes in the fridge.

Heat the oil in a wok or pan on medium till hot
Toss in the garlic and ginger, stir fry till fragrant, about 1 minute
Toss in the pork and stir fry for about 4 minutes till cooked.
The pork changes into opaque colour when it is done.

Lay the lettuce over a serving plate and serve the pork over the lettuce.
Garnish with spring onion and enjoy.

Joke - Difference Between Complete And Finished

No dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. However, in a recent linguistic conference held in London, England, and attended by some of the best linguists in the world: Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese, was the clear winner.

His final challenge was this: 

"Some say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. Please explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand."

Here is his astute answer:

"When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. But, when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. 

When the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED! 

He received standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes.
