5. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli to the wok. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.
6. Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, or black pepper according to your preference.
7. Serve the Tirk Phtoong hot over a bed of steamed rice or alongside noodles, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
