Singapore Pork and Onion Stir-Fry (Chinese)

psychera's Note:

A recipe from my mum, tweaked by me. I love this marinade - you can use it for chicken, and bee hoon (rice vermicelli). For the bee hoon, just prepare the pork first, then add in chopped veggies (cabbage, carrots). After soaking your bee hoon in hot water for 10 minutes, throw the lot in and fry. Add more oyster sauce (till the noodles are a light brown) and you're good to go! ***If you find the marinade too salty, just decrease all the sauce amounts. Proportions: [light soya sauce = oyster sauce] and [dark soya sauce = 2 x light soya sauce]

I tried this recipe but substituted onions for garlic as I didn't have any at home. Turned out really well too. The marinated meat was delicious!

This was really good- I think the recipe definitely should include veggies. I used 1/2 the pork but kept sauce ingredients the same. When I cooked it, I added one shredded carrot, and a stalk of celery thinly sliced. It doesn't seem like it would be enough sauce, but we found it delicious over brown rice cooked with broth. I served oriental cabbage salad on the side.
