Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Marinate the pork slices with light soy sauce, pepper, and a pinch of salt for 15 minutes. Chop the pickled cabbage and mince garlic.

2. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok or pot over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the pork until browned, then remove and set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, add minced garlic and pickled cabbage. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
