Thinly slice the pork tenderloin into bite-sized strips and set aside.
Wash and prepare the vegetables. Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin strips, julienne the carrot, and cut the broccoli into small, even-sized florets.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and ginger root and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced pork to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the pan. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the carrots and broccoli to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, followed by the zucchini and red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for another 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked pork to the pan, and pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the ingredients. Toss everything together to evenly coat in the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and serve immediately, either on its own or over cooked rice or noodles.
