Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork loin chops
• 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork loin chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the sauce.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet and pour in the orange-ginger sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the skillet to thicken the sauce, cooking for 2-3 more minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles, if preferred.
