Ingredients

• 1.5 pound pork tenderloin (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 3 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 head green cabbage (cored, thinly sliced)
• 2 carrots (large, julienned or shredded)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 pound stir-fry noodles (quick-cooking)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the stir-fry noodles according to package directions, usually boiling for 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced pork tenderloin and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through. Remove pork from skillet and set aside.
4. Add the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the thinly sliced green cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Add the drained noodles and toss to combine and coat thoroughly.
7. Season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure your pork is very thinly sliced for quick cooking. Partially freezing the tenderloin for 15-20 minutes can make it easier to slice thinly. Adjust soy sauce or add a splash of water for desired saltiness.
