Cooking Tools Required

12-inch nonstick skillet, Cutting board, Measuring cups and spoons, Mixing bowls, Sharp Knives, Tongs, Top Stove, Wooden Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 head green cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 each red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 each carrot julienned
  • 2 stalk green onion sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, toss the sliced pork tenderloin with 1 tbsp of soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 5-10 minutes if time permits.
  • Cook the Pork: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1/2 tbsp of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tbsp oil. Add the garlic and ginger, if using, and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cabbage, bell pepper, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Combine Ingredients: Return the pork to the skillet and add the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve: Divide the stir-fry among four plates and garnish with sliced green onions, if using.
Reheating Instructions
Heat in the microwave on high power or on the cooktop in a pan over medium heat, until heated through.
