Stir fry is a technique to cook food quickly by cutting into small pieces and stirring constantly in a wok or frying pan over high heat. Because most stir fry dishes take not much time to make, and are nutrition balanced (often use both protein and vegetables as ingredients in one dish), making stir fry a very popular cooking method in China.
Making this dish is incredibly easy. First, I cooked the vegetables and pork belly separately. Then, I stirred fried everything together and seasoned the dish with soy sauce, oyster sauce and salt. The total time I spent to make this dish is only 15 minutes.
The flavor for this dish is savory, with hint of natural sweetness from the carrot. Serve it with rice and pair with a healthy miso soup, this is what an easy weekday night dinner looks like for us. Try it out, I know you will like it.
