Note

For best results, ensure the wok is very hot before adding the oil to achieve a proper sear on the pork.

You can substitute fresh grated ginger and minced garlic for the powder for a more intense flavor.

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it. If it is too thin, simmer for an additional minute.

This dish is best served immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan to maintain texture.

Feel free to customize the vegetable mix based on seasonal availability or personal preference. Bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots work well.
