How to Make Stir-Fried Pork and Bell Peppers

Stir-fried pork and bell peppers is a quick, flavorful dish loved for its vibrant colors and tender-crisp texture. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 200g pork loin, thinly sliced; 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tsp oyster sauce; 1 tbsp cooking oil; salt and pepper to taste; optional: a pinch of sugar for balance.

Steps:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix sliced pork with 1 tsp soy sauce, pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Let it sit for 10 minutes to tenderize.

2. Prep vegetables: Wash and slice bell peppers into uniform strips. Mince garlic and set aside.

3. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add pork and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

4. Stir-fry peppers: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (10 seconds), then add bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

5. Combine and season: Return pork to the pan. Add oyster sauce, remaining soy sauce, salt, and a pinch of sugar (if using). Toss everything together for 1 minute until heated through.

Serve hot with steamed rice. This dish balances savory, salty, and fresh flavors, making it a perfect weeknight meal. Enjoy your homemade stir-fried pork and bell peppers!
