Instructions

- Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Heat 1 tsp (5 mL) canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Tilt skillet to coat lightly, add pork, and cook 3 minutes or until lightly pink in the center and juices run clear, using two utensils to toss easily. Set aside on a seperate plate.
- Heat remaining 1 Tbsp canola oil, add vegetables, and cook 4 minutes or until tender crisp and beginning to lightly brown on the edges. Place vegetables on a serving platter.
- Add pork and any accumulated juices to skillet, cook 30 seconds to heat thoroughly, and place on top of vegetables on serving platter.
- Add sauce to skillet and cook 20-30 seconds to heat, stirring constantly, until reduced slightly. Spoon over pork and sprinkle with nuts. Serve immediately for peak flavors and texture.
