Chef's Note
For the best stir-fry texture, make sure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the pork. A proper sear creates those delicious caramelized edges that make restaurant-style stir-fry so irresistible!

Ingredients
1 lb pork tenderloin
2 cups fresh snow peas
1 whole red bell pepper
3 cloves garlic cloves
3 TBSP soy sauce
1.5 TBSP honey
1 TBSP rice vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
2 pouches unheated microwaveable jasmine rice pouches
1 TBSP sesame seeds
2 stalks green onions
2 TBSP vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
Trim any silver skin from the 1 lb pork tenderloin, then slice the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch thick medallions. Pat the pork slices completely dry with paper towels.
- 2
Rinse the 2 cups fresh snow peas and trim off the stem ends. Wash the red bell pepper, remove the seeds and core, and slice into thin 2-inch long strips.
- 3
Peel and finely mince the 3 garlic cloves. Wash and thinly slice the 2 green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.
- 4
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 TBSP soy sauce, 1.5 TBSP honey, 1 TBSP rice vinegar, and 2 tsp sesame oil until the honey dissolves completely. Set the sauce aside.
- 5
Heat 1 TBSP vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering hot. Add the pork medallions in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid crowding). Sear without moving for 2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
- 6
Flip the pork pieces and cook for 2 more minutes until golden and just cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.
- 7
Add the remaining 1 TBSP vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
- 8
Add the snow peas and the white parts of the sliced green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the snow peas turn bright green and tender-crisp.
- 9
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the cooked pork to the skillet along with any accumulated juices.
- 10
Pour the prepared soy-honey sauce over the pork and vegetables. Toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce coats everything in a glossy glaze and thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- 11
While finishing the stir-fry, microwave the 2 pouches of unheated jasmine rice according to package instructions (typically 90 seconds per pouch).
- 12
Divide the warm jasmine rice among three serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous portion of the sesame pork and vegetables, drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the top, and garnish with 1 TBSP sesame seeds and the sliced green onion tops.
