Instructions

1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 8 oz gluten-free buckwheat noodles according to package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking; set aside.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes to make the sauce.
3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin strips, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove pork from skillet and set aside.
4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add the sliced 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 cup snap peas. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
5. Step 5: Return pork to the skillet along with the cooked noodles and 3 sliced green onions. Pour the prepared ginger-sesame sauce over everything and toss well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through and sauce coats the ingredients.
6. Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving.
