Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless pork chops (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 units garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 unit red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 unit carrot (julienned or thinly sliced)
- 150 grams snap peas (trimmed)
- 2 units green onions (chopped)
- 3 cups cooked white or jasmine rice (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the marinade.
Add the thinly sliced pork chops to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the pork marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid, and reserve the remaining marinade for later.
Add the pork to the hot skillet in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss it with the vegetables and sauce until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Serve the pork and vegetable mixture over cooked white or jasmine rice, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
