Rye Free Pork and Cabbage Stir-Fry

This stir-fry is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did — tender slices of pork tenderloin, crisp-tender cabbage, sweet carrot matchsticks, and a glossy, gingery sauce that pulls everything together in one hot skillet. The marinade gets a head start with turmeric and ground ginger, so the pork is already deeply flavored before it ever hits the pan. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce throughout, which means the whole dish is naturally free from wheat and grain-based fermented sauces that can sneak into traditional stir-fry recipes — no label-reading anxiety required. Apple cider vinegar adds a bright, tangy backbone to the sauce, while arrowroot starch gives it that satisfying, restaurant-style coating without any grain-based thickeners. High heat and a good sear are the real secrets here: cook the pork undisturbed until it browns, then let the vegetables get some color before everything comes back together. A squeeze of lime and a handful of fresh cilantro at the end make it feel fresh and a little restaurant-worthy. It's the kind of clean, bold meal you'll want on repeat.
