Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tbsp Spicy chili garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, or both), sliced thinly
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1 tbsp Optional garnish: sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Optional garnish: fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place it in a bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of tamari and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to the pork. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of tamari, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili garlic sauce, honey, and rice vinegar to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork strips. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, snow peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the pork and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat. Serve the spicy pork stir-fry immediately over cooked rice.
Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.
