Pork Tenderloin in a Black Bean Sauce
A simple and quick stir fry made with pork tenderloin, onions and yellow sweet peppers. The black bean sauce gives the dish a nice flavour that is perfect alongside some steamed rice.
Black bean sauce is a classic flavour in Chinese cuisine. It is actually quite simple to make as there are jars of black bean sauce available at many grocery stores.
I often make this along with a stir fried vegetable dish and steamed rice. The pork tenderloin used is lean and tender and is complimented by adding one or two veggies.
I used onion and bell pepper today but you could also add bok choy, broccoli, snow peas, green beans and so much more!
