Thai Chilli Garlic Pork

 

Important Tips:

 

Don't replace whole white peppercorns with pepper powder. Pounded whole peppercorns give a much stronger scent than white pepper powder and that's what makes this dish delicious. 

 

You can use any cut of pork you like with just a bit of fat or none at all.

 

Don't omit the sweet soy sauce because it keeps the pork moist and also adds a bit of saltiness and thickness to all the other ingredients that will coat the pork. 

 

A lot of times we use sugar to round out the flavor of Thai dishes. But for Thai garlic pepper pork, it's better to use sweet soy sauce as it helps us achieve that nice dark brown color sugar won't.

 

Once the liquid in the wok starts to bubble, give your sauce mixture a good stir, and add it along with the celery lettuce, scallion and cooked pork. Stir fry quickly to combine everything and serve.
