Orange Pork Stir-Fry Recipe

When I need a healthy dinner fast, this quick stir-fry is my go-to recipe. My family loves it because the sauce is sweet, savory, salty, and garlicky all in one. I love it because I know everyone is getting lots of veggies plus a healthy balance of protein, energizing carbohydrates, fiber, and healthy fats.

Orange Pork Stir-Fry Recipe

Ingredients

  1. ¾ cup coconut aminos
  2. 2 teaspoons orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
  3. ½ cup fresh orange juice (from 2 large oranges)
  4. 4 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  5. 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  6. 1 ½ – 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  7. 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  8. 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil, divided
  9. 1 ¼ lb. pork tenderloin or pork chops, cut into ¼-inch strips (or thinner)
  10. Fine salt and pepper (for seasoning pork)
  11. 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets (3-4 cups)
  12. 1 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch thick half moons (2 cups)
  13. 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced (1½ cups)
  14. 1 medium red bell pepper (1½ cups)
  15. ½ small red onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
  16. 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the orange zest, orange juice, garlic, sesame oil, coconut aminos, and ginger. Add the cornstarch to the sauce mixture and stir well. Set aside.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and swirl to coat.
  3. Add the pork to the skillet in a single layer, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the pork is no longer pink. Remove pork to a clean plate and set aside.
  4. To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and swirl to coat.
  5. Add the zucchini, carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, and onion to the skillet and cook for 7-9 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the cooked pork back to the skillet along with the sauce (stir the sauce one more time to ensure that the cornstarch is mixed in well). Cook for 2-4 minutes or until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly.
  7. Top with sesame seeds and serve.
  8. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
