Pork Fillet with Green Capsicum

This is actually a quick stir fried dish at the 'Chu Char' stalls where the pork fillets are deep fried or scalded in hot oil, drained and fried with the remaining ingredients.
Here, I am enjoying this dish in a more healthier way. Instead of deep frying, I blanched the marinated pork fillets in boiling water.  The boiling water can also be used as a soup base.  This dish tasted good and we can eat without worrying about the fat content of it.
Ingredients
[serves 2-3]
200 gm tender pork fillet - sliced
1 green capsicum - cut wedges or diamond shape
1 red chilli - seeded and cut big pieces
2-3 cloves garlic - sliced
1/2 tbsp oil
Seasoning - Combine together
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
a dash of pepper
2-3 tbsp water
cornflour for thickening [optional]
  1. Marinate pork slices with some light soy sauce, pepper and cornstarch for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Bring a small pot of water to boil.   Put in pork slices.  Dish out onto a place with the meat slices float to the surface.
  3. In a small pan, and oil to saute garlic, capsicum and chilli.
  4. Add in the blanched meat and seasoning.  Bring to a boil over high heat.  Stir to coat meat with sauce.  Thicken with cornflour mix if preferred.
  5. Dish out to serve immediately.
