Prepare the Ingredients
食材预处理
Slice the onion, slice (or shred) the pork, and crush the garlic cloves. Mix black pepper, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, ketchup, and cooking wine (Shaoxing) together to make a marinade and set aside.
洋葱切片,猪肉切片(或丝),蒜头拍碎;将黑胡椒、酱油、糖、麻油、番茄酱、料酒混合成调味汁备用。
5 min
- Cutting the onion along its grain gives a better texture.洋葱顺着纹理切条口感更好
- Mixing the seasonings in advance prevents a kitchen scramble while stir-frying.提前混合调料可避免炒菜时手忙脚乱

Heat the Oil and Add the Pork
热油下肉
Pour 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the wok. Wait 10 seconds for the oil to heat up, then add the pork slices.
炒锅内倒入 1 大匙食用油,等待 10 秒让油温升高,倒入猪肉片。
1 min
- A slightly higher oil temperature helps prevent the pork slices from sticking to the wok.油温稍高一点可以防止肉片粘锅

- 3
Stir-Fry the Pork
煸炒肉片
Stir-fry the pork until it changes colour, then add the crushed garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Remove the pork and garlic from the wok and set aside.
将猪肉炒至变色后,加入拍碎的蒜头炒出香味,随后将肉片和蒜头盛起备用。
2 min
- Remove the pork as soon as it changes colour to avoid overcooking.肉片变色即盛出,防止肉质过老

- 4
Stir-Fry the Onions
炒制洋葱
Using the residual oil in the wok, add the onions and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until they turn soft and translucent. Then add the mixed seasoning and stir to combine.
利用原锅余油放下洋葱翻炒 3~4 分钟,直到洋葱变软透光,随后加入混合好的调味料炒匀。
4 min
- The sweetness of the onions becomes more pronounced once they are stir-fried until soft.洋葱炒软后甜味会更明显

- 5
Combine and Stir-Fry
混合翻炒
Return the reserved pork to the wok and stir-fry evenly with the onions.
将之前盛起备用的猪肉重新倒入锅中,与洋葱均匀翻炒。
1 min
- Stir-fry quickly so the pork slices are evenly coated with the sauce.快速翻炒让肉片均匀裹上酱汁

- 6
Cook Through and Serve
熟透起锅
Once the pork is fully cooked, continue stir-frying for 1–2 more minutes to allow the flavours to meld, then remove from heat.
待猪肉完全熟透后,继续翻炒 1、2 分钟,让风味充分融合即可起锅。
2 min
- Using high heat at the end to reduce the sauce gives even better results.最后阶段大火收汁效果更佳

Extra tips
- You can use pork shoulder slices or pre-cut shredded pork — choose based on your preferred texture.猪肉可选猪肩肉片或是切好的肉丝,看个人喜好决定口感
- It is recommended to use standard teaspoons and tablespoons to measure ingredients precisely for consistent flavour.建议购买标准茶匙、大匙来精准确定用料的量,保证味道稳定
- Onion is the star of this dish — if you love it, feel free to add an extra half to a whole onion.洋葱是主角,如果特别喜欢吃可以多加半颗到一颗
