Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
If using pre-packaged nian gao, separate the slices and soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften; drain well.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Soaking helps prevent the rice cakes from sticking together and makes them easier to stir-fry.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the pork loin with the marinade ingredients: soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix well and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
Aproximativ 10 min.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, chicken broth, and white pepper. Set aside.
Aproximativ 2 min.
4
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure your wok is hot before adding ingredients for a good stir-fry.
5
Add the marinated pork to the hot wok and stir-fry until it is cooked through and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overcrowd the wok; cook in batches if necessary.
6
Add the garlic and yellow onion to the wok and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
7
Add the napa cabbage and carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Aproximativ 3 min.
8
Add the softened nian gao to the wok with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared sauce.
9
Stir-fry everything together for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the rice cakes are evenly coated with the sauce and have absorbed some of the liquid. They should be tender and chewy.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: If the rice cakes are too sticky, add a splash more chicken broth.
10
Return the cooked pork to the wok and toss to combine and heat through for about 1 minute.
Aproximativ 1 min.
11
Garnish with chopped scallion and serve immediately.
