Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb thinly sliced pork loin with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 2 tsp sesame oil. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the slices turn golden and start to crisp at the edges. Remove pork and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same wok, add 4 finely chopped garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 large julienned red bell pepper, 1 large julienned yellow bell pepper, and 8 oz sliced button mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  5. Step 5: Return the pork to the wok along with 1/4 cup water and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 3 chopped scallions before serving hot.
