　　      2. Heat some oil in a pan, add green onion or Sichuan peppercorn to release aroma, then add the pork strips and stir-fry until they change color.

　　      3. Once the pork is browned, add the shredded cabbage and stir-fry briefly, then add the shredded flatbread and red bell pepper. Stir-fry everything together for 2 minutes.
