Ingredients

• 8 ounce pork tenderloin (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (freshly grated)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 4 ounce egg noodles
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 broccoli (medium head, cut into florets)
• 1 carrot (medium, julienned)
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the pork tenderloin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove pork from the wok and set aside.
4. Add the broccoli florets and julienned carrot to the wok. Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and steam for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Return the pork to the wok with the vegetables. Add the cooked egg noodles and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas or bell peppers.
