2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp. dark toasted sesame oil
8 oz. pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips

recipe directions
In a small bowl, combine jam, soy sauce, water and cornstarch. Set aside. In a large non-stick skillet, heat sesame oil over medium high heat. Add pork and ginger and stir-fry until pork is browned and just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer pork and ginger to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add canola oil to skillet. Stir-fry peppers, water chestnuts, and apples until peppers are crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Add pork back to skillet along with scallions. Stir-fry 30 seconds. Stir jam mixture to recombine, then blend into stir-fry. Continue to stir-fry 30 seconds to one minute, or until sauce thickens. Season to taste with black pepper. Serve over brown rice or whole-wheat pasta.

I made this dish with the pasta and my wife loved it. I have made quite a few other recipes from this site and she liked all of them, but she said this was the best one yet. I felt the cooking times were a bit longer than the recipe calls for, but not a major problem.
