Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large, julienned carrot
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece, grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
• 2 sliced green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, season lightly with salt and pepper, and toss with the cornstarch to coat evenly.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork strips in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and just cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot sticks. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables, stirring initially to avoid sticking or burning. Cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, fish sauce, honey, chicken broth, and sriracha sauce.

Step 6

Return the pork to the skillet along with the sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and clinging well to the ingredients.

Step 7

Garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot with steamed rice or rice noodles to complete the meal.
