- Oyster sauce - 4 Tablespoons
- Sugar - 2 Tablespoons
- Water - ½ cup

Instructions
Prep Veggies
- Cut ¼ section from each bell pepper and julienne them into thin slices.
- Cut pork, carrots and red cabbage into similar-sized slices.
- Then thinly slice the mushrooms, onion and spring onions.
Make Sauce
- Mix all of the listed ingredients under marinade into a small mixing bowl - make sure to thoroughly mix the starch powder into the sauce.
Stir-fry
- Put a large frying pan (or wok) on high heat. Pour oil into the pan. Place spring onion slices into oil.
- Once you see the oil bubbling inside the spring onions, place the pork slices in. Season pork slices with minced garlic and black pepper.
- Once pork pieces are almost fully cooked, place all of your veggies in. Cook the veggies in the pan for one minute.
- Then pour ⅓ of the sauce into the pan (before you pour, mix the sauce once more to get the starch well incorporated). Stir-fry everything for another minute or until the sauce thickens into a light syrup texture.
- Turn off the heat and garnish with sesame oil. Serve alongside a bowl of hot sticky rice.
Notes
- I have listed alot of veggies in the ingredient list, but feel free to choose the ones you like or have at home.
- Also, I have (purposely) used Tablespoon measurements for the sauce. It will be enough for an additional 2 stir-fries. However, if you want just enough sauce for one stir-fry: switch the Tablespoon to a teaspoon measurement for all sauce ingredients and use 3 Tablespoons of water (instead of ½ cup).
