Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup tomato ketchup
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce (I use honey hoisin)
  • 1 tsp garlic chili sauce (a flavouring staple, trust me - you'll love it)
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice powder
  •  1, 1-2 pound pork tenderloin or 4 boneless pork loin chops sliced into thin strips
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 1 red sweet red pepper, diced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 8 button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups roasted, unsalted cashews
  • 4 squares dry Chinese noodles
 Directions
  1.  Mix the first 9 ingredients together in a large bowl to make a marinade. Add the thinly sliced pork tenderloin, or boneless pork loin chops. Place the pork in the marinade and marinate overnight or for at least four hours.
  2. When ready to stir fry, heat 1 Tbsp of the canola and the tsp of sesame oil in a wok set to high. Add the vegetables and cook until the onions are transluscent and the mushrooms begin to release their water. Remove from wok and set aside.
  3. In the meantime, cook four squares of Chinese noodles in boiling water for app one minute. Drain and set aside.
  4. Heat a second tbsp canola oil in the wok and add your pork. Reserve the marinade.
  5. When the pork is cooked, add the reserved marinade to the wok and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute stirring constantly and then add the vegetables and the cashews. Toss that up and add the cooked noodles.
  6. Continue to stir fry on medium high heat until the sauce is well incorporated with the noodles.
Serve and enjoy!
