Ingredients

• 300 grams Lean pork loin
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 small Zucchini
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 bottle Cooking spray
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the lean pork loin into bite-sized strips. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, and add it to the stir-fry sauce. Combine well.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: cut broccoli into florets, slice the red bell pepper into strips, julienne the carrot, and slice the zucchini into half-moons.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.

Step 5

Add the pork strips to the pan in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the sesame oil and toss in the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the ingredients. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the pork and vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
