Craving takeout but need to keep it clean, gluten-free, and soy-free? This Asian-Inspired Pork Stir Fry is your new weeknight hero. We’ve swapped out the traditional soy sauce for a powerhouse combination of gluten-free Umami Joy and Worcestershire sauce, giving you all that rich, savory “fifth taste” without the allergens or MSG.
It’s fast, it’s fresh, and because we’re using a frozen pepper blend and pre-minced aromatics, you can have this on the table in under 30 minutes.
Technical Tips for Success
The Slurry Secret: Whisk your cornstarch directly into the sauce ingredients before adding it to the pan. This prevents clumps and results in that glossy, restaurant-style coating that clings to every floret.
The Rice Ratio: For perfectly fluffy Jasmine rice, using chicken broth instead of water adds a layer of seasoning right from the start.
The “Two-Step” Sear: We divide the olive oil to ensure the pork gets a golden-brown sear first. Overcrowding the pan with vegetables too early leads to steaming rather than frying.

Instructions
Prepare the Rice
-
Add water and rice to a 2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until all the water is absorbed.
Make the Stir Fry
-
Cut the pork tenderloin into ½-inch rounds and then cut each round into 4 quarters.
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of light olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork quarters and cook until no longer raw, for about 7-10 minutes. Remove the pork to a plate and set aside.
-
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the broccoli, and onion/pepper blend. Cook the veggies until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
-
Remove the rice from the heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
-
Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the pork back to the skillet. In a 2 cup measuring cup, mix Umami Joy, Worcestershire Sauce, honey mustard and cornstarch until smooth, then drizzle it over the pork and veggies in the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened, the pork and vegetables are coated, and the pork is cooked through, about 2-3 more minutes.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle sesame oil over the pork stir fry mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
-
Fluff the rice with a fork. Divide rice between plates or bowls. Top each with the pork stir fry divided evenly.
-
Serve and enjoy!
