Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add 5 thinly sliced garlic cloves and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy, then remove and set aside on paper towels.
2. Step 2: Increase heat to high and add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin, seasoning with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until pork is cooked through and edges start to caramelize.
3. Step 3: Add 1 medium sliced red bell pepper and 1 cup trimmed green beans to the wok, stir-frying for 3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp chili flakes in a small bowl, then pour over the pork and vegetables. Toss to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and glazes everything.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle the reserved crispy garlic over the stir-fry to add a crunchy, aromatic finish reminiscent of a 'dodge' technique in flavor layering.
6. Step 6: Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
