Ingredients

• 500 grams pork loin
• 60 milliliters soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 units carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 unit red bell pepper, diced
• 150 grams snap peas
• 250 grams cooked long-grain white rice
• 240 milliliters chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 3 units green onions, sliced
• 100 grams crunchy chow mein noodles
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Slice the pork loin into thin strips. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the pork strips to the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the carrots, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, cornstarch, and hoisin sauce until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the cooked rice, green onions, and browned pork. Mix until everything is well combined.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread evenly and sprinkle the crunchy chow mein noodles on top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the topping is golden and crisp.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the casserole before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
