Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1- inch ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup carrot, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sweet onion, sliced
- Green onions, or sesame seeds for garnish
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Start by cutting the pork tenderloin into thin slices or bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, combine the pork with soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- While the pork is marinating, chop your vegetables. Slice bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Keep them uniform in size for even cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). This step ensures the pork and vegetables cook evenly.
- After marinating, drain any excess marinade from the pork.
- Toss the pork with a small amount of vegetable oil and a sprinkle of cornstarch. This helps to create a crispy coating.
- Place the pork in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the pork is cooked through and slightly crispy.
- In a separate bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with a bit of oil.
- After removing the pork, put the vegetables in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are tender but still crisp.
- While the vegetables are cooking, prepare a simple stir fry sauce. Mix soy sauce, honey, water or chicken broth, and cornstarch in a bowl.
- Once the vegetables are done, add the cooked pork back to the air fryer along with the stir fry sauce.
- Cook everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.
- Serve your pork stir fry hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or noodles.
