Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork loin chops
- 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork loin chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and pour in the orange-ginger sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the skillet to thicken the sauce, cooking for 2-3 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles, if preferred.
