Slice the leftover pork chops thinly and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the snow peas and sliced green onions to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for another minute.
Push the vegetables to the edges of the pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the center. Add the sliced pork chops and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan. Stir well to coat the pork and vegetables evenly. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the stir fry over cooked rice or noodles while hot. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
