- 200 g Lean pork (猪瘦肉) — per serving
  - Tip: Choose fresh lean pork and slice along the grain.
- 3 g Salt (盐) — per serving
  - Tip: Used for marinating and seasoning.
- 3 ml Light soy sauce (生抽) — per serving
- 3 ml Oyster sauce (蚝油) — per serving
- 5 g Garlic (大蒜) — per serving
- 5 g Ginger (姜) — per serving
- 8 ml Cooking oil (油) — per serving

### Optional

  - Tip: Primarily used for color.

  - Tip: Adds layers of flavor.

## Tools

Wok, Cleaver / chef's knife, Cutting board, Empty bowl

## Method (9 steps)

1. **Prepare the Green Bell Peppers** — Wash the green bell peppers, remove the stems and seeds, then cut them into rolling-knife chunks and set aside.
   - Duration: 3 min
   - Tip: Rolling-knife chunks increase the surface area for even cooking.

2. **Prepare the Aromatics** — Smash the garlic with the flat of a cleaver / chef's knife, then slice it into cloves. Mince the ginger finely.
   - Duration: 1 min
   - Tip: Smashing the garlic helps release its aroma.

3. **Slice the Pork** — Slice the lean pork into thin pieces. Cut along the grain of the meat (the knife should be parallel to the grain), so the resulting slices have a pattern resembling the Chinese character "川".
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: Cutting along the grain yields more tender slices.

4. **Marinate the Pork** — Rinse the sliced pork, place it in an empty bowl, then add the measured light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt. Stir to combine and marinate for 10 minutes.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: Marinating infuses the meat with flavor and helps retain moisture.

5. **Dry-Fry the Green Bell Peppers** — Heat the wok without adding oil. Add the cut green bell peppers and dry-fry over high heat until they develop a tiger-skin pattern. Then add 2g salt and stir-fry for 1 minute before removing them from the wok.
   - Duration: 4 min
   - Tip: Dry-frying is the key to the peppers' flavor in this dish—do not add oil.

6. **Bloom the Aromatics** — Without washing the wok, heat it over high heat. Add servings × 8ml cooking oil and wait 30 seconds. Add the garlic cloves and minced ginger, and stir-fry for 15 seconds.
   - Duration: 45 sec
   - Tip: Add the aromatics only after the oil is hot.

## Tips

- Only use green bell peppers—screw peppers are the best choice. Do not substitute with other varieties of chili peppers!
- Mastering the heat for dry-frying and quick stir-frying is key to success.
- When slicing the pork, watch the grain—slices with a "川" pattern are ideal.
