- 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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin matchsticks.
Step 2
Wash and core the red and yellow bell peppers, then cut them into thin strips.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves and finely slice the green onions. Separate the white and green parts of the green onions.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Season the pork with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 9
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.
