Ingredients
- ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 24 ounces frozen stir-fry vegetable blend
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, water, garlic, honey and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Slice the tenderloin in half lengthwise to make 2 pieces, then slice into smaller slices approximately ¼ inch thick. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to lightly coat the pan. Add pork pieces and cook, stirring, until the pork is almost completely cooked, about 4 minutes.
- Add frozen veggies to the pan and cook over medium high heat until thawed and no longer frozen.
- Increase the heat to high. Add the stir fry sauce to the pan and cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Sauce will thicken and coat the stir fry as it cools.

Notes
Best pork cuts: Pork tenderloin, pork loin, or boneless pork chops all work well for this stir fry. Slice the pork thin and against the grain for the most tender results.
Vegetable swaps: This recipe is super flexible. Use bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, zucchini, or a frozen stir-fry vegetable blend. Add firmer vegetables first and quicker-cooking vegetables at the end.
Sauce thickening tip: If the sauce seems thin, let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly reduced. You can also stir in a small cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water) to thicken it quickly.
Storage notes: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
Serve over rice, cauliflower rice or noodles of your choice.
Pork should be cooked to a temperature 0f 145°F when measured with a meat thermometer.
Soy Sauce Substitute: You can substitute tamari or coconut aminos for the soy sauce.
