Pork with Peppers

This is a dish that my former officemate, S, used to prepare at the company apartment during our NJ stints years ago. I seem to be on a bell pepper binge lately (I've been preparing a lot of dishes with bell peppers) and this seemed like the dish to have tonight.
I tried to recreate the dish as best I could and it turned out well.

Ingredients:
Pork, cubed or sliced
Cornstarch
Seasoned salt
oyster sauce
Bell Peppers, sliced
Minced garlic
soy sauce (optional)

1. Prepare pork by slicing into strips or cubes.
2. In a small container, mix the cornstarch and a little salt (do not overseason, we can always add more salt / soy sauce later). Coat the pork pieces with this cornstarch mixture.
3. Heat oil in a saucepan, deep fry the pork. Put the pork on paper towels to drain the oil. Taste the cooked pork.
4. Take out the excess oil in the saucepan, leave just enough to saute the garlic and peppers.
5. Add the cooked pork.
6. Mix a little water with around 2 tbsp of oyster sauce, add to the pork & pepper and mix. If the cooked pork still needs salt, add some soy sauce at this point.
