Ginger Pork Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Pork tenderloin (1 pound, thinly sliced)
• Fresh ginger (2 tablespoons, grated)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
• Water (2 tablespoons)
• Broccoli florets (2 cups)
• Bell peppers (1 cup, sliced (various colors))
• Carrots (1 cup, sliced)
• Green onions (3, sliced)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the sliced pork to the bowl and ensure it is well-coated. Marinate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
4. Add the marinated pork to the skillet and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, bell peppers, and carrots. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant in color.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
7. Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the cornstarch slurry over the pork and vegetables, stirring to combine.
8. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the ingredients.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
10. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving hot.
