Ingredients

• 12 oz pork tenderloin
• 4 cups bok choy
• 1.5 tbsp ginger
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp green onions

Instructions

1. Step 1: Slice 12 oz pork tenderloin into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1/2 tsp salt, letting it rest for 5 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1.5 tbsp minced ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
3. Step 3: Add pork strips in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned on edges, then push to the side. Add 4 cups chopped bok choy stems and cook for 2 minutes until slightly wilted.
4. Step 4: Whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl. Pour over pork and bok choy, add remaining green onions, and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything. Serve immediately over rice.
