Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin (or chicken breast)
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 medium Onion, sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Bell peppers, sliced
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 can Water chestnuts, sliced
• 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 tsp White pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin or chicken breast thinly against the grain and place it into a bowl.

Step 2

In the bowl with the sliced meat, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth. Stir in the white pepper and set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated meat and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. Once done, remove the meat from the wok and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same wok. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Toss in the onion slices, followed by the broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, and water chestnuts. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked meat to the wok. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables.

Step 8

Stir in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water, simmering the mixture for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
