Sweet and Sour Pork and Vegetable Stir-Fry

1 cup long-grain white rice

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 carrots, shredded

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1/2 pound pork tenderloin

Kosher salt and pepper

1 cup bean sprouts

2 scallions

Cook the rice according to package directions.

In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon water; set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and bell pepper and cook, tossing frequently, until the vegetables are just tender. Transfer to a bowl.

Return the skillet to the stove and heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the hoisin mixture and cook for 1 minute.

Return the vegetables to the skillet, add the bean sprouts, and cook, tossing, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve over the rice and sprinkle with the scallions.

Yield: 4 servings
