Instructions

Step 1: Soak 8 oz rice noodles in warm water for 10 minutes until softened, then drain and set aside.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 5 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add 8 oz thinly sliced pork tenderloin; stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage, 1 cup julienned carrots, and 3 chopped green onions; cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften but remain crisp.
Step 5: In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 3/4 cup chicken broth until sugar dissolves.
Step 6: Pour the soy sauce mixture over the pork and vegetables; bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 7: Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet; toss gently for 2-3 minutes until noodles absorb the sauce and are heated through.
