Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cut the boneless pork loin against the grain into slices approximately 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 1/8 inch thick.
- Crosswise slice the spring onion into very fine rounds.
- Mince the garlic and fresh ginger.
- Cut the red peppers into 1/2 inch squares.
- Dice the onions into 1/2 inch cubes and separate the layers.

Marinate the Pork:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced pork, minced garlic, minced ginger, sliced spring onion, and hot fermented bean paste.
- Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and set it aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Stir-Fry the Pork:
- Just before serving, heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork along with all its marinade to the pan.
- Stir-fry the pork for approximately 3 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink, ensuring it is white all the way through.

Add Vegetables:

- Add the diced red peppers and onions to the pan.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Final Cooking:
- Continue to stir-fry the pork and vegetables for an additional 2 minutes over high heat, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften slightly.
