Apricot jam adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the spicy, salty and umami flavors without turning the sauce into a sugar bomb. Serve with cooked rice to round out the meal.

Ingredients

¼ cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce (see Tip)
1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into thin strips
¼ cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons grapeseed or avocado oil
12 ounces green beans, trimmed
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Whisk jam, tamari (or soy sauce), sesame oil and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toss pork with cornstarch in a medium bowl until no cornstarch remains at the bottom of the bowl.
Heat grapeseed (or avocado) oil in a large flat-bottom wok or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in green beans and continue to cook, stirring often, until the beans are tender-crisp, 3 to 6 minutes. Add the jam mixture and cook, stirring often, until well coated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from heat and add scallions and sesame seeds. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with more scallions, if desired.

Get Spicy

Chile-garlic sauce isn't just for stir-fries. Use the coarsely ground blend of red hot peppers, garlic and vinegar just as you would any hot sauce—drizzle over your morning eggs, swirl into a bowl of noodles or stir into a marinade.

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.)
