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.

Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin

  • 1/4 cup tamari sauce

  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon erythritol sweetener

  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil

  • 2 pounds bok choy

  • 1 large red bell pepper

  • 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 6 stalks green onions

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

  • 1/2 cup chicken bone broth

  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos

Instructions
  • 1

    Slice 1.5 pounds of pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Place in a medium bowl.

  • 2

    Make the marinade by combining 2 tablespoons tamari sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Pour over the pork, toss to coat, and marinate for 20 minutes.

  • 3

    Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop 2 pounds of bok choy, separating the stems from the leaves. Slice 1 large red bell pepper into thin strips. Clean and slice 8 ounces of shiitake mushrooms. Cut 2 cups of broccoli into small florets. Slice 6 green onions diagonally, separating the white and green parts.

  • 4

    Make the stir-fry sauce by whisking together 2 tablespoons tamari sauce, 2 tablespoons coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon erythritol, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum. Slowly add 1/2 cup chicken bone broth while whisking to prevent clumps. Set aside.

  • 5

    Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons avocado oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the marinated pork in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, then stir-fry for another 2 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove pork to a plate.

  • 6

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil to the wok. Add the bok choy stems, broccoli, and white parts of green onions. Stir-fry for 3 minutes.

  • 7

    Add the bell peppers and shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

  • 8

    Add the bok choy leaves and stir-fry for 1 minute until just wilted.

  • 9

    Return the pork to the wok, pour in the prepared sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the pork is cooked through.

  • 10

    Remove from heat and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and the green parts of the green onions.

  • 11

    Serve hot, dividing equally among 4 plates.
