Begin by thinly slicing the pork tenderloin into bite-sized strips and set aside.
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 15 minutes or until they become soft. Then drain and set aside.
Mince the garlic and ginger and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the green onions and set all vegetables aside.
In a large pan or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced pork to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Add the red bell pepper and white parts of the green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and the vegetable broth. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for a minute.
Add the drained rice noodles and bean sprouts to the pan, tossing everything together to ensure the noodles are well coated with the sauce and mixed with the vegetables and pork.
Season with black pepper to taste, then continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the noodles are tender.
Remove from heat and squeeze the juice of half a lime over the noodles. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with the remaining green parts of the green onions and fresh cilantro leaves.
Optional: Serve with additional lime wedges for an extra citrusy kick.
