Make Yok

Pork Yok is a dish that combines seared pork with Chinese spices. Some variations of the dish include noodles while other recipes include shrimp. The key to making the dish is quickly cooking the meat in a pan, also known as stir-frying, and the inclusion of soy sauce as a flavor. What you include in the dish is up to you. Examples of vegetables that go well with Yok include bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and Chinese mushrooms.


Instructions


1. Slice pork loin into thin slices. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the sliced pork. Dice the onion. Cut up any vegetables you plan on using.


2. Boil the noodles according to the instructions on their packaging. Drain noodles when al dente and set aside.








3. Heat oil in a frying pan and add pork when the oil is simmering and cook on both sides, about two minutes.


4. Add vegetables, if using, and stir-fry until soft.


5. Add cooked noodles and stir-fry until all ingredients are cooked through. Add soy sauce to taste while stir-frying. Serve hot.
