TERIYAKI PORK STIR FRY
Servings 4 people
Ingredients
For the stir fry
- 1 tbs vegetable oil divided
- 1 cup broccoli, florets
- 1/2 cup carrots thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup bell peppers cut into 1 inch pieces, I used red and yellow
- 1 lb pork tenderloin cut into 1 inch pieces or thinly sliced
- 1 tsp ginger minced
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tbs sesame seeds
- salt and pepper to taste
For the sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tbs brown sugar
- 1 tbs honey
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbs 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
