Ingredients
- 500 grams pork shoulder
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- 1 medium onion
- 250 ml tomato sauce
- 250 ml water
- 200 grams green peas
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl.
Marinate the pork with soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Chop the onion and red bell pepper into small pieces.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add the marinated pork (including the marinade) to the skillet. Cook until the pork is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the tomato sauce and water. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let the pork cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the green peas and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot with steamed rice.
