Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and chicken broth. Set aside.
- Cook the Pork:
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the onion, bell peppers, and green beans, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Combine and Sauce:
- Return the pork to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
