Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground pork. Cook and stir until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes until they soften.
Mix in the diced carrots, potatoes, and green peas. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Pour the soy sauce, fish sauce, and water into the pan. Add the bay leaf and ground black pepper. Stir everything to combine.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice.
