  1. Step 1

    Cut the peppers open, remove the seeds and cut into strips. Cut the pork loin along the grain into thin strips; half-frozen meat is easiest to cut.

    青椒剖开去芯,切成丝。里脊肉顺着纹路切丝,肉冻到半硬时最好切。

  2. Step 2

    Mix the pork by hand with the dark and light soy sauce, half the sugar and the cooking wine. Leave for 15 minutes.

    肉丝加老抽、生抽、一半的糖和料酒,用手抓匀,腌15分钟。

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 tbsp water and squeeze it in until the meat has absorbed it all. Then mix in the cornstarch.

    加1汤匙清水,抓到肉丝把水全吸进去,再加淀粉抓匀。

  4. Step 4

    Heat a little oil and stir-fry the green pepper until slightly soft. Take it out.

    锅里放少量油,油热后下青椒丝炒到微软,盛出。

  5. Step 5

    Heat a little more oil and fry sliced ginger and garlic until fragrant. Add the pork and stir-fry fast on high heat to separate it; low heat makes it tough.

    再热锅放少量油,下姜蒜片爆香,倒入肉丝大火快炒散开,火小了肉会老。

  6. Step 6

    When the pork is nearly cooked, add the green pepper back and toss. Season with the salt and the rest of the sugar, then stir in a little cornstarch mixed with water to lightly thicken and serve.

    肉丝八成熟时,倒回青椒丝炒匀,加盐和剩下的糖,最后淋少许水淀粉勾薄芡,出锅。
