This isn't just food; it's an echo of home. Growing up, my Lola (grandma) would whip up the most incredible dishes, and her Visayas Vibrant Stir-Fry always stood out. The way she balanced the savory pork, crisp veggies, and that umami-packed sauce... I could never quite replicate it, but this recipe gets pretty darn close! I remember sneaking tastes of the sauce when she wasn't looking – the sweet, salty, tangy, like a party in my mouth. Now, every time I make this stir-fry, it's like she's right there with me, stirring up memories and deliciousness.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Get your wok screaming hot: Place your wok over high heat. It should be hot enough that a drop of water evaporates almost instantly. This ensures your ingredients will stir-fry and not steam.
- Add the cooking oil: Pour 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the hot wok. Swirl the oil around to coat the surface.
- Stir-fry the pork: Add the sliced pork to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the wok. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the vegetables: Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. If the wok seems dry, add a splash of water or broth.
- Return the pork to the wok: Add the cooked pork back to the wok with the vegetables. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the pork and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Simmer and thicken: Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add the finishing touches: Stir in the chopped green onions and sesame oil. These will add a fresh flavor and aroma to the dish.
- Serve immediately: Serve the Visayas Vibrant Stir-Fry hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar and rice vinegar to suit your taste. If you prefer a tangier sauce, add a bit more rice vinegar. For a sweeter sauce, increase the brown sugar.
