Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 2 medium Pear (firm but ripe)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1.5 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 cups Cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick for quick and even cooking.
Core and slice the pears into thin wedges. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the pork strips and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until they are no longer pink and slightly browned. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
Return the pork to the skillet and toss to combine. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well to coat all the ingredients.
Gently add the sliced pear wedges and green onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the pears are just tender and the sauce has thickened.
Season with ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
