Ingredients

  • Sauce:
  • 1 pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced into thin slices
  • 6-8 baby bok choy or shanghai choy
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tsp. orange zest
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1-2 tsp. chili garlic sauce, sambal oleek or siracha (1 tsp. for moderate spice or 2 tsp. for spicy-lovers. Can omit if you don’t want heat)
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • Garnish:
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • 1-2 green onions, sliced
  • Small red pepper, thinly sliced (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Remove silver-skin and trim any fat from pork tenderloin and cut into thin slices. Set aside. (*Tip: to easily remove silver-skin, make a slice into it with a sharp knife and them use a paper towel to pull it off. Repeat until it’s all removed). Remove ends from bok choy and wash. Chop, if desired or leave in whole stalks. Set aside.

Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until no pink remains. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for another minute. Add sauce and bring to a boil. Scatter bok choy over top and continue cooking, tossing, until bok choy is tender, but still a nice, bright green. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, red pepper slices (if using) and sliced green onions.

Serve as is, or over rice.
