Cooking steps

1

Slice pork loin thinly across the grain for tenderness; season with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp cornstarch, set aside for 10 minutes.
2

Prep all vegetables: julienne carrot, slice bell pepper into strips, cut celery diagonally, and slice onion thinly for even quick-cooking.
3

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until just shimmering. Stir-fry pork slices briskly for 2–3 minutes until just cooked; remove and set aside.
4

Add carrot, celery, and onion to the wok; stir-fry for 1 minute over high heat, then add bell pepper and toss for 1 more minute to avoid over-softening.
5

Return pork to the wok, add bean sprouts, and pour in combined sauce (soy sauce, oyster sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, sugar, black pepper, water). Stir well, cook for 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens and vegetables are crisp-tender.
6

Drizzle sesame oil over the pork chop suey, toss once gently, then remove from heat and serve hot.

Personalized Q&A

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

The primary ingredient is pork loin, which delivers lean protein and a satisfying bite. Alongside, bean sprouts and an assorted mix of fresh vegetables—like carrot, celery, green bell pepper, and onion—define the unique flavor, crunch, and unmistakable freshness of authentic chop suey.

Q. How should I control the heat for the best texture?

For ideal results, use high heat throughout cooking. Stir-frying pork and vegetables quickly ensures the pork stays tender and the vegetables remain bright and pleasantly crisp without losing their color or crunch.

Q. How can I avoid soggy vegetables or overcooked pork?

Cut your vegetables uniformly and stir-fry them briefly over high heat, starting with the sturdier types (carrot, celery, onion) before adding bell pepper and bean sprouts. Cook pork slices just until they lose raw color, and avoid prolonged simmering after combining with sauce to preserve texture.

Q. How many calories and how much protein are in each serving?

Each serving contains approximately 250 kcal, with 23 g of protein. This means protein provides about 37% of the calories, making this dish both satiating and high in protein.
