  4. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry large skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until golden; tip them onto a plate.
  5. Heat half the canola oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the pork in one layer and sear 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until browned and it reaches 145°F (63°C); transfer to a plate and rest 3 minutes.
  6. Heat the remaining half of the canola oil in the skillet. Add the red onion, red bell pepper and green bell pepper and stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  7. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Return the pork and its juices to the skillet, stir the sauce, pour it in and toss 1 to 2 minutes until glossy and thickened.
