Let’s get cooking

01
Marinate briefly
Mix pork with half the soy sauce and starch. Let stand 10 minutes in the fridge while slicing peppers.
02
Cook the meat
Heat most of the oil over medium-high heat. Spread pork out and cook 3–5 minutes, turning, until it reaches 63°C. Transfer to a clean plate.
03
Cook the peppers
Add remaining oil, garlic, and peppers. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until tender.
04
Combine
Return pork, remaining soy sauce, and water. Toss 1–2 minutes. Allow the pork at least a 3-minute rest after reaching its safe temperature.
