Ingredients
  

  • 500 g pork loin sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 red bell peppers sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 teaspoons red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh coriander for garnish

Instructions
  

Prepare the Pork

  • Slice the pork loin into thin strips. Try to cut against the grain. This keeps the meat tender and soft. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.

Heat the Pan

  • Place a large frying pan or wok on medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and let it warm up. The oil should shimmer but not smoke. A hot pan helps seal the pork quickly. This keeps the juices locked inside.

Cook the Pork

  • Add the pork strips in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about three to four minutes. Stir gently until the pork turns golden brown. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

  • In the same pan, add sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook for four to five minutes. Stir often until they soften slightly. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for one more minute until fragrant and aromatic.

Add the Spices

  • Sprinkle in chili flakes and smoked paprika. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly. The spices should toast gently in the oil. This step builds strong flavor. Your kitchen will smell warm and spicy now.

Make the Sauce

  • Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce. Add brown sugar for balance. Stir everything together until well combined. The sauce should look glossy and slightly thick. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

Combine Everything

  • Return the cooked pork to the pan. Mix well with the vegetables and sauce. Let everything cook together for five more minutes. The pork will soak up the flavors. Make sure it is fully cooked before turning off the heat.

Garnish and Serve

  • Turn off the heat and sprinkle fresh coriander on top. Serve the spicy pork hot. It pairs beautifully with steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy the bold taste and tender texture.

Notes

  • Use pork shoulder for extra richness and deeper flavor.
  • Add fresh red chilies if you love extra heat.
  • Include sliced mushrooms for more texture.
  • Replace pork with chicken if preferred.
  • Add a squeeze of lime for fresh brightness.
  • Marinate pork for 20 minutes for stronger flavor.
