Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin with 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch until the pork is evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the pork in a single layer and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove pork from the pan and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-high and add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return the pork to the pan, then stir in 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Toss everything for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the pork and vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced scallions before serving over steamed rice or noodles.
