Stir-Fry Vegetables:
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and green onions, and stir-fry for another minute.
Combine and Season:

Perfect Beverage Pairing:
Tsingtao Beer: This light Chinese lager has a crisp and refreshing taste that can balance the rich and sweet flavors of the char siu pork in the dish. Its clean finish is great for cleansing the palate.
Jasmine Tea: If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, Jasmine tea can provide a fragrant and delicate contrast to the dish’s savory notes. Its floral aroma complements the spices used in the char siu marinade.
Pinot Noir: For a wine option, a light-bodied Pinot Noir with its bright acidity and red fruit notes can pair nicely with the savory and sweet flavors of the dish without overpowering it.
