- Sweet or yellow onion 1/2 onion, thinly sliced $2.19–$5.49 (see list)
- Neutral oil (canola/avocado) 2 tbsp, divided
- Soy sauce 2 1/2 tbsp
- Honey or brown sugar 1–2 tbsp
- Rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp
- Cornstarch (optional, for glossy sauce) 1 tsp mixed with 2 tsp water
- Cooked rice (optional) 1–1 1/2 cups cooked, for serving
Instructions
- Prep: Trim any silver skin from the tenderloin. Slice pork into 1/2-inch medallions for quick cooking. Halve/chop bok choy; string snow peas if needed. Mix sauce: soy sauce + honey + vinegar + grated ginger (and the cornstarch slurry if using).
- Sear the pork: Heat a large skillet or wok on medium-high. Add 1 tbsp oil. Sear pork in a single layer (work in batches if needed) 2–3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- Stir-fry the vegetables: Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add onion; cook 1 minute. Add bok choy (stems first if separated) and snow peas; stir-fry 3–5 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Glaze: Return pork (and juices) to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss 30–90 seconds until glossy and coating everything. If it thickens too much, splash in 1–2 tbsp water.
- Serve: Spoon over rice if using, or serve as a hearty vegetable-forward plate.
Health notes: Approx. 550–750 kcal per serving (lower without rice). Lean protein, lots of vegetables, and a lighter sauce. Watch sodium (soy sauce); choose low-sodium if available and taste before adding extra salt.
Drink pairing: Wine: off-dry Riesling from Washington (Columbia Valley) is excellent with ginger and soy. Beer: a crisp pilsner or lager.
