Ingredients

1 pound pork loin, thinly sliced into ¼-inch strips
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon orange juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce, separated
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 tablespoons ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons honey
2-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound brussels sprouts
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
½ cup cup cashews, toasted
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Combine sugar, rice vinegar, orange juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, orange zest, ginger, and garlic to make marinade. Place sliced pork loin in a large zipper top bag. Add marinade to bag and seal. Mix well with hands. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Combine lemon juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and honey to make sauce.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil until just smoking in a cast iron stir-fry skillet over medium high heat, about 5-7 minutes. Drain pork and pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade.
Sear pork in 2-3 batches before making the brussels sprouts, approximately 1-2 minutes per side. Add oil as needed. Remove cooked pork from wok. Set aside.
Add halved brussels and cook, tossing occasionally until charred, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt. Pour in sauce and continue to cook for 3 minutes, tossing to coat.
Add cooked pork, cashews, and oranges, and heat through, stirring to coat, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Serve immediately.
