A delightful stir-fry dish featuring tender pork and aromatic garlic, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Slice the pork into thin strips and set aside.
Cutting the pork into uniform strips ensures even cooking.
Peel and mince the garlic, and chop the celery and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Keep the vegetables similar in size for consistent cooking.
Heat a wok over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil.
Ensure the wok is hot before adding oil to prevent sticking.
Add half of the minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the pork to the wok and stir-fry until it starts to brown.
Cook the pork in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the wok.
Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
Keep the pork warm by covering it loosely with foil.
Add the remaining peanut oil to the wok, followed by the celery and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Cook the vegetables quickly to retain their crunch.
Return the pork to the wok and add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry, mix, and remove from heat.
Sesame oil adds a nutty aroma; use sparingly.
Serve the stir-fry immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor.
