Quick Ginger Pork

This tasty and low-calorie stir-fry goes together fast. The recipe can easily be adjusted for a larger family and the amount of ginger used can be adjusted to make this a more kid-friendly meal. Ginger can be a strong flavor when combined with garlic in a stir-fry, so using the smallest amount suggested the first time in new recipe is a good idea. Blessings...

Recipe:

1 tbsp. peanut oil
1/2 pound pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsps. soy sauce
