METHOD
Why It Works
A hot pan sears the pork quickly so it stays tender. A fast soy-based sauce glazes everything without weighing the dish down.
Ingredients
Protein
• 1 lb pork loin, thinly sliced
Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Vegetables
• 4 cups broccoli florets
Pasta & Grains
• cooked white rice, for serving
Topping
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
How to Make It
1
Season the pork with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat, add the pork, and cook 2 to 3 minutes until browned and just cooked through; transfer to a plate.
2
Add the remaining oil to the skillet, then add the broccoli and cook 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook 30 seconds.
3
Whisk the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water, pour into the skillet, and simmer 1 minute until glossy.
4
Return the pork to the skillet and toss to coat.
5
Spoon over rice and top with sesame seeds.

Swaps
No soy sauce? Use tamari in the same amount.
No honey? Use maple syrup in the same amount; expect a slightly different sweetness and flavor.
Avo's Tip
Slice the pork thin against the grain so it stays tender in the quick stir-fry.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
What pork cut works best?
Boneless pork loin, thinly sliced, cooks fast and stays tender.
Can I use frozen broccoli?
Yes, though fresh holds up better with more crunch.
How do I serve it?
Over steamed rice or noodles to catch the sauce.
Quick Fixes
Pork tough: slice it thin and don't overcook it.
Broccoli too soft: cook it just until crisp-tender.
Sauce too thin: simmer an extra minute to thicken.
