Cooking steps

1

Slice pork tenderloin thinly against the grain and toss with 1 tbsp soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch for 10 minutes to tenderize.
2

While the pork marinates, prep the green and red bell peppers, and long hot green chili peppers into thin strips. Mince garlic and chop scallions into 2-inch pieces.
3

Heat 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high until shimmering, then add marinated pork. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until just turning pale and remove it from the wok.
4

Add the remaining oil to the wok. Increase heat to high, then add all peppers, garlic, and scallions. Stir-fry vigorously for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
5

Return pork to the wok. Season with remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, white pepper, sugar, and salt. Toss everything together over high heat for 1 more minute, making sure the sauce evenly coats all ingredients. Serve immediately.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The key ingredient is pork tenderloin—its lean, tender texture is central to the dish. The mix of green and red bell peppers and long hot green chili peppers add color, crunch, and a signature fiery Hunan flavor.

Q. How should I control the heat for stir-frying pork and peppers?

Start by heating oil over medium-high to cook the pork quickly without drying it out. Later, switch to high heat when stir-frying the vegetables and finishing the dish, which ensures the peppers remain crisp and the pork stays juicy.

Q. How can I keep the vegetables crisp and prevent sogginess?

Stir-fry the peppers over high heat for only 2-3 minutes, constantly moving them in the wok. This rapid cooking preserves their color and crunch while preventing excess moisture.

Q. How many calories and how much protein does a serving have?

Each 230g serving contains about 320 kcal, with 26g of protein. Protein makes up approximately 33% of the dish’s total calories, supporting a high-protein, family-friendly meal.

Q. Is this recipe suitable for a low-carb or high-protein diet?

Yes. Each serving supplies just 12g carbohydrates (15% of calories) and 26g protein (33% of calories), so it's both high-protein and suitable for many low-carb meal plans.
