Instructions
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, sugar, and sesame oil to create the marinade. Mix well until smooth.
Add the sliced pork to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let the pork marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated pork to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the pork is browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and water to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
