Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 1 sweet onion

- 12 oz. bag of mung bean sprouts
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 tbs + ½ teaspoon corn starch
- 1 tbs soy sauce

Instructions
- Drizzle approx. 2 tbs. of canola oil in a large flat bottom skillet, or wok. Put on Med-high heat.
- While pan is heating chop onions & cabbage. Add to pan as ready. Stir frequently.
- Begin slicing pork tenderloin. Use a very sharp knife to get thin pork slices (put it in freezer for about a half hour beforehand to stiffen if necessary).
- Once cabbage is softened, set the cabbage & onions aside in a large bowl.
- Saute the bean sprouts over med. heat, just until stiffness relaxes, then dump them in the bowl with the rest.
- Lightly cook the pork, just until rawness is gone. Add it to the bowl.
- Drizzle some sesame oil over the bowl contents. (optional)
- Whisk broth, soy sauce and cornstarch together, in med. bowl.
- Heat over med-high heat, until thickened.
- Add the cooked pork & veggies, while stirring the chow mein to coat.
- If your chow mein gravy is a little to thick, add water, a couple tbs. at a time. If too thin, whisk a ½ teaspoon of corn starch in a little water, push chow mein to sides and whisk sauce while cooking.
- Serve the homemade pork chow mein over premade noodles, and/or rice. Enjoy.
