Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 tsp orange zest
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
• 4 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the pork, then mix well to coat. Set aside to marinate while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Toss in the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Give the orange sauce a quick stir, then pour it into the skillet, stirring to coat all the ingredients evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Step 7

Sprinkle the stir fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.

Step 8

Serve the Orange Pork Stir Fry immediately over cooked white rice.
