Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove pork from pan and set aside.
- Step 2: In the same pan, add 12 oz trimmed green beans and stir-fry for 4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 3: Return the pork to the pan and pour in a sauce made from 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Stir everything together and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the pork and green beans.
- Step 4: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced scallions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving over steamed rice or noodles.
