Pokyny

Prepare the vegetables – slice the zucchini, julienne the carrot, and prep the broccoli into small 1” pieces. Add this to a large plate or bowl. Also slice the shallot and set this aside in a separate bowl.

Slice the pork into very thin, ⅛” thick pieces.

Add porks to a bowl and marinate in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of water, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Mix very well, then set aside and marinate while you work on the sauce.

Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl or jar.

Heat a large pan on medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil, then add the marinated pork tenderloin. Cook and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the pork is barely cooked through. It’s OK if there are still some pieces that don’t look cooked through – it will finish cooking later.

Remove the pork from the pan (this can be the same bowl it was marinating in, as you WILL COOK THIS AGAIN).

To the same pan, add 2 more tablespoons of oil, the sliced shallots, cherry tomatoes, and a large pinch of salt. Cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, remove the lid and the tomatoes should be soft enough to “burst” open. If the tomatoes are still a bit hard, cook for another 3-4 minutes. Use the back of a spatula to burst all the tomatoes. Give everything a good mix, then add in all the vegetables and another large pinch of salt. Cover and cook for another 3 minutes on medium heat.

Add in the 2 handfuls of spinach, the pork, and the sauce, and cover for another 2 minutes.

Taste, adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as desired, then serve (this goes great with rice or noodles!).
