Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced pork with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together all the stir-fry sauce ingredients: chicken broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and Sriracha. Set aside.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated pork in a single layer (you may need to do this in two batches to avoid overcrowding). Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- 5
Return the cooked pork to the wok with the vegetables. Give the prepared stir-fry sauce a quick whisk again and pour it over the pork and vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients. Remove from heat.

Serve the Spicy Pork and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry immediately over hot jasmine rice.
