• 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 carrots, julienned
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
• Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
• Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Pork:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced pork with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chicken broth or water. Set aside.
3. Cook the Pork:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
4. Stir Fry the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrots. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Combine and Cook:
   • Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the pork and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
   • If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish the stir fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
