Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sambal oelek (chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the pork tenderloin into bite-sized strips and place them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
While the pork marinates, mince the garlic and fresh ginger. Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin strips, and chop the broccoli florets into bite-size pieces. Thinly slice the green onions, reserving the green tops for garnish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, sambal oelek, rice vinegar, and black pepper to make the stir-fry sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Then, toss in the zucchini and red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture. Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through and well combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the stir-fry with the sliced green onion tops.
Serve immediately as-is or alongside cauliflower rice for a complete keto-friendly meal.
