Ingredients

Yield: 3 servings

For the Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for GF)
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

For the Stir-Fry

  • 8 oz thin pork stir-fry strips or thinly sliced pork tenderloin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, small
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cooked lo mein or ramen noodles (or desired stir-fry noodles)
  • Optional: sesame seeds, chopped green onions for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    First, prepare your sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. In a separate tiny bowl, combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce mixture and whisk well. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through. Remove pork from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add the sliced onion, broccoli florets, and red bell pepper to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender. If needed, add a splash of water to help them steam slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss constantly for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat all the ingredients. The sauce will become glossy.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your lightning-fast stir-fry!

Tips

  • Prep all your ingredients (chop veggies, make sauce) before you start cooking, as stir-fries cook very quickly.
  • Any quick-cooking protein like chicken breast or firm tofu can be swapped for the pork.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the sauce ingredients.
