Stir-frying is a super-fast cooking method that also preserves the fresh taste and nutrients of seasonal veggies. If you like, replace the pork tenderloin with boneless chicken breasts or extra-firm tofu.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup bottled plum sauce
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 large cloves garlic , minced
  • 3/4 lb pork tenderloin
  • 2 sweet peppers , (your choice of colours)
  • 1 small eggplant , preferably Italian or Japanese (optional)
  • 1 bunch broccoli
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil , divided
  • handful green beans , washed and trimmed

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir plum sauce with vinegar, ginger and garlic. Slice pork into bite-sized strips. Slice peppers into chunks and eggplant into thick strips. Cut broccoli into florets.
  • Lightly coat a wok or large frying pan with oil and place over high heat. When oil is hot, add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until golden, 5-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove to a bowl. If necessary, add more oil to the pan, then add peppers and eggplant. Stir-fry until they begin to soften slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Add broccoli and beans. Pour sauce over top.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until broccoli and beans are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes more. Stir in meat to coat with sauce. Serve stir-fry over rice or orzo pasta.
