Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless pork chops (thinly sliced)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 2 units garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 unit red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 unit carrot (julienned or thinly sliced)
• 150 grams snap peas (trimmed)
• 2 units green onions (chopped)
• 3 cups cooked white or jasmine rice (for serving)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the marinade.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced pork chops to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the pork marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid, and reserve the remaining marinade for later.

Step 5

Add the pork to the hot skillet in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss it with the vegetables and sauce until everything is evenly coated and heated through.

Step 9

Serve the pork and vegetable mixture over cooked white or jasmine rice, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
