Sweet and Savory Leek and Barbecued Pork Stir-Fry

1. Prepare the Leeks

Prepare the leeks by removing the tough outer leaves, washing them thoroughly, and slicing them diagonally into ¼-inch thick pieces. Include both the white and tender green parts to ensure a mix of textures and flavors.

2. Heat the Wok

Heat a wok over high heat for about 45 seconds until it is hot. Pour in the peanut oil and swirl it around to coat the wok evenly. Add the minced ginger and stir it briefly until it's fragrant.

3. Add Barbecued Pork

Add the thinly sliced Barbecued Pork to the wok. Continue to stir and cook for about a minute, allowing the pork to heat through and combine with the ginger's aroma.

4. Deglaze with Shaoxing Wine

Drizzle the Shaoxing wine along the edge of the wok. This technique will help deglaze the wok, lifting any caramelized bits and enhancing the dish's flavor. You should hear a satisfying sizzle as the wine hits the hot surface.

5. Add Basting Sauce

Stir in the basting sauce from the Barbecued Pork, mixing everything together until well combined.

6. Cook the Leeks

Add the sliced leeks to the wok. Cook and stir them for about 2 minutes until they become vibrant and tender, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully.

7. Serve

Turn off the heat and transfer the stir-fry to a heated dish. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors in this quick and easy stir-fry.
