Preparation
1
Cook the noodles: In a large pot, bring water (1 litres, 2 litres) to a boil for the noodles. While the water is heating up prepare the vegetables.
Once the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain the noodles in a colander or strainer.
2
Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the vegetables. Cut the broccoli* in bite size florets. If you have a spiralizer, use it to cut the carrots in thin strips. If you do not have a spiralizer, cut the carrots in thin match size pieces for a fun texture.
Cut the mushroom in 1/2 cm thick slices. Cut the bok choy in 6 segment length wide.
*Note: Get the stink outta here! Broccoli can have a strong smell. To minimize the smell, open the bag under running cold water. This will minimize the smell and rinse your broccoli at the same time.
3
Cook the pork: Cut the pork tenderloin in 1/2 cm slices. In a large pan, add the oil (1/2 tsp, 1 tsp) and the pork tenderloin. Cook on medium heat until fully cooked – about 7 minutes. Place the cooked pork in a bowl and set aside.
Prepare the stir fry: In the same pan you cooked the pork, add oil (1/2 tsp, 1 tsp), mushroom. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the onion is tender. Add the orange stir fry sauce, the carrot and the broccoli. Cook on medium/high heat for about 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and cook a additional 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are cooked but still crunchy. Add the cooked pork and combine.
Note: Ensure the pork is cooked to a minimal internal temperature of 145F.
4
Prepare the garnish, assemble and serve: Thinly cut the Thai pepper.* Separate the leaves of the cliantro.
Serve the stir-fry and garnish with cilantro and Thai pepper.
Note: *The Thai pepper is very spicy, add it slowly to your dish.
