Ingredients

• 250g pork tenderloin, with all visible fat removed (optional) cut into chunks
• 1 tsp cornflour
• 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• low-calorie cooking spray, or olive oil
• 150g button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 red peppers, deseeded and sliced
• 75g green beans or mange tout
• 15g fresh root ginger, cut into thin matchsticks (optional)
• 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
• 4 spring onions, chopped
• Salt and Black pepper to taste

Method

Season the pork with salt and pepper; mix the cornflour with two tablespoons of cold water until smooth, and then stir in the soy sauce.

Add the cooking spray or 2 tbsps of olive oil to a wok or large frying pan; and place over a high heat. Stir-fry the pork for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned but not cooked through. Transfer the pork to a plate.

Return the pan to the heat and reduce the heat slightly; spray the pan with more oil or add another 2 tbsps of olive oil. Stir-fry the mushrooms and pepper for 2 minutes. Add the green beans and cook for a few more minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and spring onions and stir-fry for a few seconds.

Return the pork to the pan and pour over the soy sauce mixture; cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the pork is cooked through.

Serving

Serve immediately, with noodles or rice.
