Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Avocado oil (or other high-heat oil)
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sambal oelek (or your preferred chili paste)
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 medium Zucchini, cut into matchsticks
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 Scallions, sliced
• 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sambal oelek, and sesame oil. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the pork strips to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the pork and vegetables and toss to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, to heat through and blend the flavors.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish the stir-fry with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
