Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large, finely chopped Red onion
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 pcs, chopped Green chili pepper
• 1 medium, chopped Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh calamansi juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 stalks, chopped Scallions
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling the pork tenderloin in a pot of water over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and tender.

Step 2

Remove the pork from the pot and let it cool down. Once cooled, chop the pork into small pieces, approximately 1/4-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a non-stick pan, apply cooking spray and sauté the onions until they are translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase to medium-high heat and add olive oil to the pan. Add the chopped pork pieces and sauté until the edges are slightly crispy, around 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the green chili pepper and red bell pepper, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to merge.

Step 7

Add the low-sodium soy sauce, fresh calamansi juice, and ground black pepper to the pan. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the low-fat mayonnaise, ensuring the pork and vegetables are well coated.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed brown rice for a complete heart-healthy meal.
