Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 5 cloves minced garlic and 3 sliced fresh red chilies, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 2: Add 1 pound thinly sliced pork tenderloin and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until pork is mostly cooked through and starting to brown.
Step 3: Toss in 1 small sliced white onion and cook for 2 minutes until onions soften but remain slightly crisp.
Step 4: Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon light brown sugar, mixing well to coat the pork and vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, sprinkle 2 chopped green onions, toss briefly, and remove from heat. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
