HEALTH & BENEFITS

Lean cuts of pork, like pork loin, are a good source of protein, iron, and zinc.
The spices used in this recipe, such as chili and oyster sauce, may provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
However, it’s important to note that consuming deep-fried foods regularly can lead to health issues.
