Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 ounce snap peas
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, optional
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sambal oelek or a pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sambal oelek until well combined.
- Toss the bite-sized pieces of pork tenderloin in a bowl with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until they’re evenly coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until they’re slightly blistered but still crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and cook the coated pork in a single layer for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Return the vegetables to the skillet, pour in the sauce, and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the pork and vegetables.
Notes
To achieve tender, juicy pork, avoid overcrowding the pan. For alternative vegetables, consider broccoli, carrots, or bok choy. Low-sodium sauces can be swapped with coconut aminos for a soy-free version.
