Instructions
Slice the pork thinly, add half the soy sauce, cornstarch and a small splash of water, then mix in one direction until tacky. Slice the peppers and mince the aromatics.
💡 Tip: Match the width of the pork and peppers, and do not soak the pork in water.
About 5 min
Heat a wok until very hot, add half the oil and quickly separate the pork. Remove it when mostly pale with just a little color at the edges.
💡 Tip: Do not cook the pork through yet or it will become tough later.
About 3 min
Add the remaining oil, fry the ginger and garlic until fragrant, then stir-fry the peppers over high heat until bright and just tender.
💡 Tip: Liquid in the pan means the heat is too low or the pan is overcrowded.
About 3 min
Return the pork, add the remaining soy sauce and toss quickly before turning off the heat. Taste before adding any salt.
💡 Tip: Finish quickly to keep the peppers crisp.
