Teriyaki Pork Stir Fry
Description
This Teriyaki Pork Stir Fry recipe starts by stir-frying broccoli florets, thinly sliced carrots, and bell pepper pieces in vegetable oil until lightly browned and tender. The vegetables are set aside while pork tenderloin is cooked in the same pan until browned and cooked through. Garlic and minced ginger are added briefly to infuse flavor.
The teriyaki sauce is prepared separately by simmering soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, and toasted sesame oil until dissolved. Cornstarch mixed with water is added to thicken the sauce, which is then returned to the pan. The cooked vegetables are combined with the pork and sauce, allowing them to heat through and become coated. Toasted sesame seeds garnish the dish before serving.
The dish balances savory and sweet flavors from the sauce with the freshness and crunch of the stir-fried vegetables. Quick cooking preserves the pork’s juiciness and the vegetables’ texture. It offers a colorful, well-rounded meal option featuring accessible ingredients and straightforward preparation.
Ingredients
For the stir fry
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil divided use
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup carrot thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces, I used red and yellow
- 1 pound pork tenderloin cut into 1 inch pieces or thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For the sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the broccoli, peppers and carrots, and cook for 4-6 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove the vegetables from the pan; place on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Add the pork, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 30 seconds.
- While the pork is cooking, make the sauce. Place the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey and sesame oil in a small pot over medium high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and boil for 1-2 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
- Add the vegetables back to the pan with the pork. Pour in the sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then serve.
