How to Make Stir-Fried Pork with Green Peppers

Stir-fried pork with green peppers is a beloved Chinese dish known for its tender meat, crisp peppers, and savory flavor. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g pork loin, thinly sliced

- 3 green peppers, deseeded and cut into strips

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce

- 1 tsp sugar

- ½ tsp starch (for marinating pork)

- 2 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt to taste

Steps:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix sliced pork with soy sauce, starch, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes to tenderize.

2. Prep the peppers: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry green peppers for 2–3 minutes until slightly charred but still crisp. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the pork: Add more oil to the wok. Stir-fry marinated pork until no longer pink, about 3–4 minutes. Push pork to one side.

4. Combine: Add minced garlic to the center of the wok, stir until fragrant. Mix pork with garlic, then return peppers to the wok.

5. Season: Drizzle in oyster sauce and sugar. Toss everything together for 1 minute. Adjust salt if needed.

Serve hot with steamed rice. The dish balances the richness of pork with the freshness of peppers, making it a quick weeknight favorite. Enjoy!
