Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin matchsticks.
Wash and core the red and yellow bell peppers, then cut them into thin strips.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely slice the green onions. Separate the white and green parts of the green onions.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes, until no longer pink and slightly browned.
Season the pork with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the sliced carrots and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables with the pork for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat all the ingredients, then cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Turn off the heat and garnish with the green parts of the green onions.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!
