Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 Carrot
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 3 tablespoons Apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper, peel and julienne the carrot, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apricot preserves, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chicken broth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir fry the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot for 3-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Add the garlic and ginger to the vegetables and stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the pork to the skillet and pour in the apricot sauce. Stir everything together and let the sauce bubble for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir fry and toss to combine. Remove from heat.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
