Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced 1/8 inch thick
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
8 ounces dried lo mein noodles
2 Chinese eggplants, quartered lengthwise and sliced crosswise
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Toss the pork, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk 3/4 cup water, the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a measuring cup; set aside.
  • Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain; keep the noodles in the colander. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant in a single layer and season with salt. Cook until browned and starting to soften, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a bowl.
  • Increase the heat to high and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the pork in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom and only a little pink remains, 2 to 3 minutes (the pork will not be cooked through). Remove to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bell pepper, ginger, eggplant and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper starts softening, about 2 minutes. Add the soy-hoisin mixture and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the skillet and cook through, about 30 seconds.
  • Run the noodles under warm water to loosen and shake well to drain. Divide among bowls and top with the stir-fry.
