Ingredients

• 450 grams pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snow peas
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups cooked brown rice

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the pork tenderloin into bite-sized strips. Toss the pork with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium chicken broth, rice vinegar, honey, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a large, non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork in a single layer. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and red chili flakes, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour the sauce over the top. Stir well to coat evenly.

Step 8

Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss one final time. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately over cooked brown rice.
