Ingredients
- 500g pork tenderloin or pork shoulder, thinly sliced
- 2 cups mandarin orange segments (canned or fresh)
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
Prep the Pork: Season the thinly sliced pork with salt and pepper.
Cook the Pork:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork in batches (if necessary) to avoid overcrowding. Stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the onion, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Combine Ingredients:
- Return the pork to the skillet.
- Add the mandarin orange segments.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce.
- Pour this mixture over the pork and vegetables, stirring well to combine.
Thicken the Sauce:
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet.
- Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the pork and vegetables, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve:
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
- Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Tips
- Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less chili garlic sauce.
- For added flavor, you can toast some sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the stir fry before serving.
- If using canned mandarin oranges, make sure to drain them well to avoid excess liquid in the stir fry.
