Set the sauce aside.2 inch fresh ginger, ¼ cup oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, ½ cup chicken broth
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the coated pork in a single layer, separated as well as you can. Let the pork cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring, until it is deep golden-brown underneath. Use tongs to transfer the partially cooked pork to a large plate or shallow bowl, leaving as much oil behind as possible.3 tablespoons peanut oil for cooking

- Add the onion to the pan and cook about 3-4 minutes. Add a splash of oil if the pan seems dry. Once the onion is softened and beginning to brown, add the minced garlic. Stir and cook for one minute, then reduce heat to medium.1 medium yellow onion, 6 garlic cloves
