Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 cups halved Brussels sprouts and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until sprouts are bright green and edges are caramelized. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same pan, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin seasoned with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until pork is browned and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger to pork. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Return Brussels sprouts to the pan. Pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos and stir everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes until sauce coats pork and sprouts and is slightly reduced.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
