Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients first to make the cooking process smoother. Cut the pork loin into thin strips, chop the cabbage, and mince the garlic and ginger.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. This helps in creating a nice sear on the pork.
- Add the pork to the skillet and stir-fry until it turns lightly browned. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about a minute until their aroma starts to release.
- Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and continue to stir-fry until the cabbage is tender. This should take about 5 more minutes.
- Pour in the soy sauce and drizzle the sesame oil. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. The soy sauce gives this dish its characteristic Asian flavor, while the sesame oil adds a delightful nutty essence.
- Serve the stir fry hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
