Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 1 large carrot
- 2 green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into thin, bite-sized strips. Place the strips in a bowl with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables: mince the garlic and ginger, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, cut the carrot into thin matchsticks, and chop the green onions.
Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated pork strips in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, approximately 30 seconds.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, sugar snap peas, and carrot to the skillet. Stir fry for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet, and add the sesame oil and black pepper. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Enjoy your High Protein Savory Pork Stir Fry hot, either on its own or served over rice or noodles.
