Chef's Note
For the best texture, freeze the pork tenderloin for about 20 minutes before slicing - this makes it easier to get those thin, restaurant-quality slices. If you want to save time, you can prepare the vegetables and sauce a day ahead. For a spicier version, add a tablespoon of chili garlic paste to the stir-fry sauce.
