  3. Add the marinated pork (reserve the marinade), and cook until lightly browned.

  4. Mix in the oyster sauce, and stir well to coat the pork.

  5. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, and the reserved marinade. Toss in the bay leaves.

  6. Let it simmer until the pork becomes tender. Add water if needed to adjust the sauce consistency.

  7. Add bell peppers, green peas, and a bit of sugar if you prefer it sweeter.

  8. Season with salt, fish sauce, or additional pepper to taste.

  9. Simmer for a few more minutes until everything is well combined and flavors are rich.
