    Add peppers to a dry pan over medium heat and press-turn until wrinkled. Add pepper salt and continue with a 1 min check; remove when slightly softened, before heavy blackening.

    Stir-fry and check pork

    Warm oil over medium heat, cook ginger and garlic until fragrant, then separate pork slices in the pan with a 2 min first check. Continue and use a thin-food thermometer to check at least 63°C in the thickest center; pale color alone is not enough.
