Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 4 cups cooked rice
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce with 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to create a marinade. Toss the pork slices in the mixture and set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
Mince the garlic and ginger. Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips, slice the carrot into matchsticks, and chop the green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sriracha sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and chicken broth to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork slices in a single layer and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the same skillet. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour in the prepared stir fry sauce and toss everything together to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Garnish the stir fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the spicy pork stir fry immediately over a bed of cooked rice. Enjoy!
