How to choose fresh and delicious pork

Prepare other ingredients
For the peas you bought, remove the fibrous parts on both sides, soak in diluted salt water for about 10 minutes and rinse several times with clean water to drain in a colander. The peas are small so there is no need to cut them, you can stir-fry them whole!
Peel the outer layers of the green onion and remove any wilted leaves. Then, separate the white part of the green onion and the green leaves.
Pound the white part of the green onion in a mortar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper until finely crushed. The green leaves will be combined with cilantro and cut into small pieces.

Stir-fry the peas
Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and heat over medium heat for about 1 – 2 minutes until the oil is hot, then add the crushed onion and pepper mixture to sauté for aroma. After that, add the sliced pork and stir-fry evenly for about 2 – 3 minutes.
When the meat is just firm and has turned pink, continue to season with the following spices: 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and a little salt. Stir well to ensure the meat absorbs the spices evenly.
When the meat is cooked for a while, add the peas and stir-fry together for about 5 minutes over medium heat. When the peas are cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning to your family’s preference, then add the green onion and cilantro and turn off the heat.
Note: You should not stir-fry the peas for too long as this will make them soft and lose their beautiful green color and crispness.
