Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin (300 g), thinly sliced
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 Tbsp coconut aminos (or low‑sodium soy sauce)
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp white pepper (or black pepper)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium‑high heat and swirl in the coconut oil until shimmering.
2. Add the sliced pork in a single layer, seasoning lightly with white pepper. Sear for 2–3 min until browned, then flip and sear the other side; remove pork to a plate.
3. Reduce heat to medium and toss in the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté 3–4 min until veggies start to soften.
4. Add garlic and ginger, cooking 30‑60 sec until fragrant.
5. Return the pork to the pan, stirring to combine with veggies.
6. Stir in coconut aminos, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and white pepper; cook another 2 min, allowing sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Finish by stirring in cilantro, lime zest, and sesame seeds; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
8. Serve immediately over steamed rice or toasted quinoa and sprinkle with green onions for extra freshness.

Chef's Note

For a cleaner sear, pat the pork dry with a paper towel before cooking. A quick pat down in flour or cornstarch can give an even crisping effect.

Make-Ahead Tips

The stir‑fry keeps fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave; add a splash of water or extra lime juice to loosen the sauce.

Substitutions
