Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork loin
- 3 medium fresh tomatoes
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 120 milliliters water
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Slice the pork loin into thin bite-sized strips. Season with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and a pinch of white pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Cut the tomatoes into wedges, slice the green bell pepper into strips, and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, ketchup, oyster sauce, sugar, and water to prepare the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork and stir-fry until just cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the tomato wedges and cook for another 2 minutes, gently stirring to avoid overcooking the tomatoes.
Return the cooked pork to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine.
Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with a small splash of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the pan and cook until the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or sugar if needed. Serve hot with steamed rice.
