Is Broccoli Pork Stir Fry healthy?

I would say so! Here’s why:

Broccoli is packed with fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K and antioxidants. It’s actually considered a ‘superfood’ because it’s so healthy! Other things broccoli can do is support your immune system, help with healthy digestion and help weight management.

And the other main ingredient is pork! Pork is a great source of protein and it also has great nutrients such as vitamin B12, zinc, and iron!

Tips for selecting and storing broccoli

When you’re shopping for broccoli, make sure to pick ones with firm stems. If you see any yellowing ones, those are usually not fresh any more.

I often do a short cut where I go to the salad section of the grocery store and buy those that are already trimmed and pre-washed to make my dinner prep easier.

When you take it home, refrigerate it as soon as possible. Yes broccoli can stay out the fridge for 1-2 days but it won’t stay fresh long.

Tips for selecting and storing pork

In this recipe, I am using pork tenderloin. Look for meat that is pinkish in color, with a small amount of marbling for flavor – this is most juicy! Avoid pork with too much fat or a strong odor.

You will want to store pork in the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below. You can freeze pork in an airtight container or freezer bag if you need to keep it fresh for longer.

How to cook Broccoli Pork Stir Fry

First gather your ingredients1:

1 lb pork tenderloin, cut in to 1/2 inch – 1 inches
Marinade
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp honey
2 tbsp cooking oil
4 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
8 oz broccoli
1 tbsp oyster sauce
Salt to taste

Combine pork and marinade/sauce ingredients (soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil and honey) in a large bowl or zip lock bag. If you are about to cook it, let it marinade at the very least 15-30 minutes. If you are making this ahead, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cooking.

In a large nonstick cooking pan or wok, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add garlic, and let it heat up for about a minute.

Then add the pork, and stir fry until mostly browned and remove from heat and set aside.

In the same skillet, add another tbsp of oil if the pan is dry, and add broccoli. Cook on medium heat, covered for 1 minute. Uncover and stir fry for about 2 more minutes or until broccoli is tender, it should turn a bright green.

Add pork back in to pan, and add oyster sauce and salt to taste.

Stir fry and mix everything for about 1 minute or until everything is cooked thoroughly and tender, and then remove from heat and serve!
