Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin (thinly sliced into bite-sized strips)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 cup fresh green beans (trimmed)
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 cup white rice (uncooked)
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Combine the pork tenderloin strips with 1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger and 1 clove minced garlic in a bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons water to create the sauce.
2. Prepare the white rice according to package directions. For quick cooking, use a rice cooker or stovetop method simultaneously while prepping other ingredients.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove pork from skillet and set aside.
4. Add the fresh green beans to the same skillet along with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
5. Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the green beans. Whisk the prepared sauce again and pour it over the pork and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
6. Serve immediately over the cooked white rice, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Ensure your pork is sliced thinly for quickest cooking. For extra convenience, pre-cooked rice can be used. Add a touch of sriracha to the sauce for more heat if desired.
