Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 12 oz Green beans (trimmed)
- 1 cup Roasted peanuts (unsalted)
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)
- 3 stalks Scallions (sliced thinly)
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. In a small bowl, toss the pork with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water. Stir well to make the stir-fry sauce and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on one side until browned. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Toss in the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet along with the stir-fry sauce. Stir everything together and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the pork and green beans evenly.
Add the roasted peanuts and scallions to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the stir-fry immediately over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
