Grab 300 grams of fresh garlic scapes. Pick ones with even thickness and closed flower buds. Those are the tenderest ones. Don't cut them too long or they won't soak up flavor well. Chop them up, put them in a big bowl, and rinse them twice with water. Garlic scapes often have dust and sticky residue on the surface, so cleaning them well makes them safer to eat. Drain and set aside. Next, get one red bell pepper, 80 grams. Cut it in half and remove the inner membranes and seeds to tone down the heat and make the texture lighter. Slice it into thin strips. Thinner strips cook faster and look prettier in stir-fry. Set them on a plate. Now prepare 150 grams of lean pork tenderloin or hind leg meat, which is super tender. Slice it thin first, then cut into strips along the grain so the meat doesn't fall apart while cooking. Put the pork strips in a bowl to marinate. Add about 1 gram salt, 0.5 grams black pepper, 3 grams dark soy sauce for color, and 5 grams cornstarch. Mix well with your hands. Cornstarch is the secret to tender pork it creates a thin protective layer to lock in juiciness. Then pour in around 10 grams cooking oil and mix again. The oil seals in moisture, keeps the meat from sticking together, and makes it silky smooth. Set the marinated pork aside. Heat about 25 grams oil in a pan. Toss in the marinated pork strips and quickly spread them apart so they don't clump up. Stir fry until they turn completely pale gray with no pink left. Then take them out right away. Don't overcook them, we'll stir fry them again later. Leave the leftover oil in the pan dots where all the garlic scape flavor comes from. Add around 2 grams salt, turn the heat too high, and stir fry fast. Garlic scapes are firm, so cook them a little longer until their surface slightly wrinkles and turns bright green. That means they're cooked through but still nice and crisp. Add the cooked pork strips and red bell pepper strips back in. Pour in about 10 grams light soy sauce for umami and 1 gram chicken bouillon for extra flavor. Keep stir frying quickly on high heat to mix the pork and garlic scapes evenly.
