Stir fry pork with ginger and scallion 姜葱猪肉

My mom used to cook this Stir fry pork with ginger and scallion 姜葱猪肉 and I can easily finished up a bowl of rice with just this dish.

As my kids do not like ginger because of the "heat", I seldom cook it.  Sometime it is the visual that plays with the mind.  Just like when my girl sees chilli, she will perceived it as spicy and refused to eat it.

Since now they are older, I decided to give this dish a try with full "heat".  Afterall, it won't be the same I don't use enough ginger to it.

I was surprised that son actually talked about this dish even after a few days.  He commented that it tasted good when he had it packed for his lunch.
