Ingredients

1 egg
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons canola oil plus 1 tablespoon, divided
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
½ cup thinly sliced carrot (1 medium)
½ cup thinly bias-sliced celery (1 stalk)
½ cup sliced scallions (4)
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
½ cup frozen peas, thawed
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

Directions

Beat together egg and egg whites in a small bowl; set aside. Heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat in a very large skillet or wok. Add pork. Stir-fry 3 to 5 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink. Remove the pork from the skillet; set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet or wok. Add pineapple, carrot, celery, scallions, and ginger; stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add garlic; stir-fry 30 seconds more. Add the egg mixture; let stand 5 to 10 seconds or until the egg sets on bottom but remains runny on top. Add cooked rice. Turn and toss mixture continuously 1 minute. Stir in the cooked pork, the peas, soy sauce, and cilantro; heat through. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
