Ingredients

5 tbsp olive oil
0.25 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
4 boneless pork loin chops, cut into bite-sized pieces
0.25 cup blanched slivered almonds
5 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger root
1 tbsp hot chili paste
5 tbsp teriyaki sauce
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Directions

1

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, rice wine vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Add pork pieces and toss to evenly coat. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

2

In a separate large wok, toast almonds over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Transfer them to a separate bowl and set aside.

3

Remove the pork from the marinade and shake off excess; set aside while discarding remaining marinade.

4

Heat vegetable oil in the same wok over medium-high heat. Add pork, ginger, and chili paste. Stir in teriyaki sauce and increase heat to high. Keep stirring constantly until the pork turns white. Then add bell peppers and continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated.

5

Top with toasted almonds and fresh mint before serving.
