Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Broccoli
• 1 cup Carrots
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Snap peas
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of the low-sodium soy sauce with the cornstarch. Add the pork to this mixture, toss to coat, and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 4

Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and trim the ends of the snap peas.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, honey, black pepper, and half of the minced garlic and grated ginger. Set aside.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Add the marinated pork slices and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 8

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, followed by the remaining garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 9

Add the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 10

Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 11

Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately.
