Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp unsweetened almond butter, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tsp sea salt until smooth and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 3 cups broccoli florets to the pork in the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Pour the prepared almond sauce over the pork and broccoli, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until the pork is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly. Add 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using for a gentle heat.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving hot.
