Ingredients

• 450 grams Boneless pork loin
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 120 ml Orange juice
• 15 grams Cornstarch
• 30 ml Honey
• 15 ml Sesame oil
• 10 grams Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 Carrot, julienned
• 100 grams Snow peas
• 100 grams Mandarin orange segments (optional for garnish)
• 250 grams Noodles (spaghetti or Chinese noodles)
• 2 Scallions, thinly sliced
• 15 grams Sesame seeds
• 15 ml Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 60 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork loin into thin strips and place into a bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, orange juice, cornstarch, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Pour half of the mixture over the pork and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon sesame oil, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add a little more vegetable oil if needed and stir fry the bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but crisp.

Step 6

Return the pork to the skillet and pour in the remaining sauce mixture. Add the water if the sauce seems too thick and stir well. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat and vegetables.

Step 7

To serve, divide the sesame noodles among plates, top with the pork and vegetable stir fry, and garnish with sliced scallions and mandarin orange segments if desired.
