- 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced (let the garlic sit for 10 minutes after chopping to enhance its health benefits)Est. price €0.08–€0.20
- 1 pork tenderloin, approximately 1 pound in weight, sliced thinly after being quartered lengthwise (partially freeze the tenderloin for easier slicing)Est. price €8.50–€14.00
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mix with a small amount of cold liquid before adding to hot mixtures for a smooth consistency)Est. price €0.04–€0.10
- 1 teaspoon finely grated zest of orange, in addition to 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (for a more pronounced orange flavor, use organic oranges)Est. price €0.10–€0.25
- 3 scallions, with the white and green parts separated and thinly sliced (use the white parts for cooking and reserve the green parts for garnish)Est. price €0.30–€0.60

Steps
- 1Begin by mixing orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brown the pork in two separate batches for approximately 2 minutes on one side each (the pork will finish cooking later). Once browned, transfer the pork to a plate.
- 2In a skillet, pour the remaining teaspoon of oil and add the garlic and scallion whites. Cook while stirring occasionally until the scallions become soft, which should take around 2 minutes. Introduce the broccoli to the skillet along with water, then cover it and allow it to cook until the broccoli reaches a crisp-tender texture and the water has completely evaporated. This process typically takes between 2 to 4 minutes.
Cultural note
Stir-frying is a cooking technique that originated in China and has become popular worldwide. Pork is a common protein used in Chinese cuisine, and broccoli is often featured in Asian dishes for its nutritional benefits and crunchy texture.
Seasonal note
Broccoli is in peak season during the fall and winter months, making this stir-fry a great dish to enjoy during that time. Oranges are typically in season during the winter, adding a fresh and citrusy touch to the dish.
Health note
This Pork and Broccoli Stir-Fry is a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins A and C from the vegetables. However, it is high in sodium, so it's important to watch your salt intake. The dish also provides essential minerals like zinc.
