Ingredients:
- 1 pound pork tenderloin or pork chops, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions:
- Marinate the Pork: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced pork with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and cornstarch until well coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables and sauce.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey or brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Pork: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell peppers, carrot, and broccoli, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine Everything: Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the top and stir everything together, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is well coated.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve the stir-fry hot over cooked rice or noodles.
