4 servings
For the pork
- 1 ½ lb pork tenderloin, sliced ¼-inch thick against the grain
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the sauce
- ⅓ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Can be omittedred pepper flakes
For the vegetables
- 2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only a small amount of the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For serving
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Can be omittedsesame seeds
