3garlic cloves
1 minced, 2 thinly sliced
1 tablespooncornstarch
2 tablespoonschili-garlic sauce
1 ½ tablespoonsbalsamic vinegar
2red bell peppers

1 bunchscallions
whites thinly sliced, greens cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths, reserved separately
½ cuproasted peanuts
roughly chopped
Instructions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, stir together the pork, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 tablespoon of the sherry, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, the minced garlic and the cornstarch. Let stand for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons sherry, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce and vinegar.
Step 2
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat another 1 tablespoon oil until barely smoking. Add the pork in an even layer and cook, stirring once or twice, until well browned, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the scallion whites and sliced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the pork and accumulated juices, sauce mixture and scallion greens; cook, stirring, until the sauce is lightly thickened, 30 to 60 seconds. Off heat, stir in half the peanuts. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining peanuts.
Step 3
Tip: Don’t use a conventional (that is not nonstick) skillet. The pork will char and stick to the skillet instead of nicely browning.
