Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Arrowroot powder (for coating)
• 2 tbsp Avocado oil (or any high-heat oil)
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
• 1 Carrot, julienned
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp Chili paste (soy-free)
• 3 tbsp Coconut aminos (soy sauce alternative)
• 2 tsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 tsp Sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
• 2 Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Toss the pork strips with the arrowroot powder until evenly coated. This helps to create a crisp exterior when cooked.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the chili paste, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil (if using). Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork 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 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, snow peas, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the garlic and ginger to the center. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic, being careful not to burn them.

Step 7

Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together until the pork and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and red pepper flakes for extra heat, if desired.
