Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
• 1 cup Sugar snap peas
• 1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 Green onions (sliced)
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Pour the mixture over the pork and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper, julienning the carrot, and washing the broccoli florets and sugar snap peas.

Step 4

In a small cup, combine the remaining sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, honey, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray or a small drizzle of sesame oil if needed.

Step 6

Add the marinated pork strips to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the pork and vegetables. Toss everything together to ensure it is evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve hot over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa, or enjoy on its own for a lighter option.
