Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin
- 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon White sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Trim any fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir well to create the sauce and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, and chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork strips to the hot pan and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until the pork is browned and just cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red and green bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss to combine.
Pour the hoisin sauce mixture over the pork and vegetables, and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the pork and vegetables.
Stir in the chopped green onions and let cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
