Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 cups cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the pork, then mix well to coat. Set aside to marinate while preparing the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Give the orange sauce a quick stir, then pour it into the skillet, stirring to coat all the ingredients evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Sprinkle the stir fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve the Orange Pork Stir Fry immediately over cooked white rice.
