Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Season pork with salt, black pepper, garlic, and ginger.

Add pork to the pan and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove pork from the pan and let it rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

In a separate bowl, combine diced tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, and cilantro.

Drizzle lime juice over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine.

Season the kachumbari with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the fried pork alongside the kachumbari salad on a platter.
