Notes

  • Soy Sauce: For a gluten-free alternative, use tamari or coconut aminos.
  • If you can't find fresh ginger, use 1¼ teaspoons of ground ginger.
  • You can use pork chops in place of the pork tenderloin.
  • Prep all of your ingredients before beginning. Stir fry cooks fast!
  • To get extra-thin slices of pork, slice the pork while still partially frozen.
  • For extra-tender pork, dip the slices in cornstarch before adding them to the pan.
  • Take care not to overcook the pork; otherwise, it will become tough.
  • Properly cooked pork should be 145°F internally.
Storage: Store pork stir fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
