INGREDIENTS
3/4 lb. lean pork (.34 kg), chopped into small pieces
1 thumb-size piece ginger, minced or grated (or Thai galangal if you can find it)
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red chili, minced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, red and green, sliced or diced
generous handful fresh mint
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
STIR-FRY SAUCE:
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
3 Tbsp. fish sauce
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
Mix the STIR-FRY SAUCE ingredients together in a cup. Set aside.
Heat a wok or frying pan over high heat. Drizzle in oil and swirl around, then add the ginger, garlic, chili and onion. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes to release the flavors.
Add the pork and stir-fry 3-4 minutes, adding 2 Tbsp. stir-fry sauce as you go.
Add the bell peppers and continue stir-frying, gradually adding all remaining stir-fry sauce until the dish is cooked to your liking.
Remove dish from heat. Chop up the mint and fold in. Taste-test the dish for a balance of flavors, adding more fish sauce if you'd like a deeper or saltier taste. More chili can be added for more spice. Serve with Thai jasmine rice and enjoy!
