Method
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Chinese cooking wine, cornstarch, white pepper, salt, and sugar. Stir well until the cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.
- Place the sliced pork in a medium bowl. Pour half of the prepared sauce over the pork and mix gently to coat the strips evenly. Let it marinate for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When the oil is hot (it should shimmer), add the marinated pork strips in a single layer. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes until the pork is almost cooked through and starts to brown, stirring occasionally. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same wok if needed. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and dried red chilies (if using). Stir - fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced green peppers to the wok. Stir - fry for 3 - 4 minutes until the peppers start to soften but still retain a bit of crunch.
- Return the cooked pork to the wok. Pour in the remaining sauce and add the sliced green onions. Stir - fry everything together for 1 - 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the pork and peppers evenly.
Notes
For a spicier version, you can add a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
If you don't have Chinese cooking wine, dry sherry or even a bit of white wine can be used as a substitute.
You can serve this dish over steamed white rice or with noodles for a heartier meal.
