Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pork tenderloin, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup bell peppers (mix of red, yellow, green), sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Slice the pork tenderloin against the grain. Chop bell peppers and onion into strips. Mince garlic and ginger finely.
- Create Your Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili paste, and sesame oil until combined.
- Sear The Pork: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork slices in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add Veggies: Once pork is nearly cooked through, add onions, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Cook until veggies are tender-crisp (around 3-5 minutes).
- Combine Everything: Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fry mixture. Stir well to coat evenly while simmering for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Serve It Up: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
