  • 3 Servings
  • Prep: 10 min. + marinating Cook: 15 min.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 2-inch strips
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 pound fresh snow peas
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger and pepper flakes. Place 3 tablespoons in a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

This was really good! I served it over rice and it made more than 3 servings, probably closer to 5. Didn't mind though because I'll bet the leftovers will be great!
