Instructions

1. Combine stir-fry sauce ingredients (except the arrowroot) in a small bowl. Whisk and set aside.
2. Heat 1⁄2 Tbsp. oil in a large sauté pan, wok, or skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the pork and cook until no longer pink – about 3 minutes on each side. Remove pork to a plate and set pork aside.
4. In the same pan, add the remaining 1/2 Tbsp. oil. When the pan is hot, add the broccoli, sugar snap peas, zucchini, onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 7-8 minutes or until crisp tender. Add the carrots and water chestnuts and continue  to stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
5. To the same pan, add the stir-fry sauce. Bring to a boil and then turn down heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Once sauce is slightly reduced, add up to 1 Tbsp. of arrowroot, 1 tsp. at a time to thicken and whisk immediately to avoid clumping (this is optional).
6. Add the pork and veggies back to the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until meat is warmed through and vegetables are tender.
7. Serve over rice (or cauliflower rice) and top with sesame seeds, cilantro, sliced green onion and crushed red pepper if desired.
