- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

- Heat cooking oil in a wok or large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced pork to the hot pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove pork from the pan and set aside.
- Add minced garlic, sliced shallot, and grated ginger to the same pan. Sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
