Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless pork loin
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Bell pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 10 Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork loin into thin, wide strips (approximately 1/4 inch thick). Use a meat mallet to carefully pound each slice until they are thin but still intact. Set aside.

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrot. Cut it into thin matchstick-size pieces. Do the same for the zucchini and bell pepper, ensuring all vegetables are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic and set it aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt to make a marinade.

Step 5

Place the pork slices on a flat surface. Brush each slice generously with the marinade.

Step 6

Take a small handful of prepared vegetables and place them at one end of a pork slice. Roll the pork slice tightly around the vegetables, creating a neat bundle. Secure it with a toothpick or kitchen twine.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining pork slices and vegetables.

Step 8

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a dash of olive oil and carefully place the pork bundles seam-side down in the skillet.

Step 9

Sear the bundles for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Remove the bundles from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with a side of steamed rice or a fresh garden salad.
