Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 1 fennel bulb
- 1 large carrot
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 scallions
- 4 servings cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips. Set aside.
Thinly slice the fennel bulb, carrot, and red bell pepper. Peel and mince the ginger and garlic. Chop the scallions and separate the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the sugar and cornstarch dissolve. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Toss in the fennel, carrot, and red bell pepper. Stir fry for 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced ginger, garlic, and the white parts of the scallions to the pan. Stir fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked pork to the pan. Pour the sauce over the pork and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the stir fry.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with the green parts of the scallions.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
