  • 1 tablespoon honey optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, sriracha, honey, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Cut the pork tenderloin into ½-inch rounds and then cut each round into 3-4 strips.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices and cook until no longer raw, for about 5 minutes. Remove the pork to a plate and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining oil to the skillet, then add the broccoli, peppers, red onions, and snap peas. Cook the veggies until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the pork back to the skillet. Give the sauce a quick stir, then add it to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened and the pork and vegetables are coated, about 2 more minutes.
  6. Off heat, drizzle the dish with sesame oil and sprinkle it with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add a splash of water during cooking if the skillet becomes too dry.
  • Cook pork until just no longer raw to prevent overcooking; it will cook further in sauce.
  • Keep vegetables tender-crisp and brightly colored by not overcooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat gently at low power.
  • Freezing leftovers is not recommended as it may degrade texture.
