Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Leftover pork tenderloin
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Bell pepper
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 4 cups Cooked rice or noodles
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the leftover pork tenderloin into bite-sized strips and set aside.
Peel the carrot and slice it into thin rounds. Slice the bell pepper into strips and chop the broccoli into small florets.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set it aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the sliced pork to the empty side. Heat the pork for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
Pour the stir-fry sauce over the vegetables and pork. Toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
