Pork & Green Bean Stir Fry

Pork

Apricot jam adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the spicy, salty and umami flavors without turning the sauce into a sugar bomb. Serve with cooked rice to round out the meal.

Ingredients

¼ cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce (see Tip)
1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into thin strips
¼ cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons grapeseed or avocado oil
12 ounces green beans, trimmed
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Description

Whisk jam, tamari (or soy sauce), sesame oil and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toss pork with cornstarch in a medium bowl until no cornstarch remains at the bottom of the bowl.
Heat grapeseed (or avocado) oil in a large flat-bottom wok or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in green beans and continue to cook, stirring often, until the beans are tender-crisp, 3 to 6 minutes. Add the jam mixture and cook, stirring often, until well coated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from heat and add scallions and sesame seeds. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with more scallions, if desired.
