Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp tamarind paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until smooth and set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove pork and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 4: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and cook for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Return pork to skillet.
Step 5: Pour the tamarind glaze over the pork and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using, and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving with steamed rice or noodles.
