Stir-fried Korean Chili Peppers and Pork

I made a bell pepper japchae. Japchae is a Korean dish made by stir-frying sweet potato noodles with thinly sliced carrot, onion, spinach, mushrooms and beef. But I used just a few things like bell pepper, pork and onion. Simple!  
Japchae has a chewy, sweet and salty taste. Bell pepper adds crunch and sweetness.  They are also rich in iron, calcium and vitamin A and C.

Ingredients
2/3 lb                      pork  
3                             bell pepper (red 1, green 2) 
1                             onion
1 inch                      fresh ginger

Spicy chili oil
1/2 C                      vegetable oil
3 T                         Korean dried red pepper powder
2 T                         minced garlic
2                            green onions

1 T                          oyster sauce
1 t                           soy sauce
1T                           Korean cooking wine
salt and pepper to taste


Directions
Thinly slice the pork. 
Seed and thinly slice the bell peppers. Thinly slice the onion. 
Finely mince ginger.
Marinate sliced pork in soy sauce, Korean cooking wine and minced ginger for 20-30 minutes.
Make the spicy chili oil:  Simmer green onions, garlic, Korean chili powder in the oil for 10 minutes. Cool and set aside.
Put the pork in the pan  with 2 T spicy chili oil and stir-fry. Add sliced onions and bell peppers with the oyster sauce. Quickly stir fry so vegetables retain their crunch.
Season the dish with salt and pepper.
