Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz lo mein noodles
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 unit red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 4 units green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
Instructions
Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the pork strips to the skillet and stir-fry until they are cooked through and browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles and the sauce, tossing everything together to coat evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to warm everything through.
Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
