Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove pork and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same wok, add the sliced 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 green bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Return the pork to the wok. Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and add to the pan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the pork and vegetables, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 2 sliced scallions and cook for another minute. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
