Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin (sliced thinly)
- 4 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 teaspoons Chili paste or sambal oelek (gluten-free)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced thinly)
- 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced diagonally)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine sliced pork tenderloin, 2 tablespoons of tamari, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the pork evenly and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of tamari, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili paste. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork in a single layer. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the red bell pepper and carrot for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the pork and vegetables evenly.
Turn off the heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the stir-fried pork to a serving dish. Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your favorite gluten-free side dish. Enjoy!
