Prepare the Marinades

  1. For the Roast Pork:

    • Place the pork in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Cook the Roast Pork and Chicken

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roast the Pork:
    • Place the marinated pork on a baking rack set over a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
    • Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, basting occasionally with the marinade, until the pork is cooked through and has a caramelized glaze. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. Roast the Chicken:
    • Place the marinated chicken on a baking rack set over a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
    • Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, basting occasionally with the marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and has a caramelized glaze. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Bean Sprouts Stir-fry

  1. Heat the Oil:
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir-fry the Vegetables:
    • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
    • Add the julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, and chopped green onions. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
    • Add the bean sprouts and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until they are heated through.
  3. Season the Stir-fry:
    • Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the skillet. Toss to combine and cook for another 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Dish

  1. Slice the Meats:
    • Slice the roasted pork and chicken into thin pieces.
  2. Plate the Dish:
    • Divide the bean sprout stir-fry between two plates. Arrange the sliced roast pork and chicken on top of or alongside the stir-fry.
