  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) Knorr® Chicken Instant Stock Mix
  • 1 cup (250 mL) uncooked rice **
  • 1 lb. (450 g) pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) dark sesame oil, divided
  • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps
  • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced snow peas
  • 1 tsp. (5 mL) finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) honey
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanuts, chopped

  1. Bring 2 cups (500 mL) water to a boil in medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add Tea Bags. Brew 4 minutes. Remove and squeeze bags. Add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Knorr® Chicken Instant Stock Mix and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add rice and cook covered over low heat, until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, season pork with remaining 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Instant Stock Mix. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) sesame oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook pork, stirring occasionally, until done, about 3 minutes; remove and set aside. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon (15 mL) oil in same skillet and cook vegetables, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in honey and cook just until vegetables are coated, about 30 seconds.

  3. Spoon rice onto serving platter. Arrange pork on rice and top with vegetables. Sprinkle with peanuts. Garnish, if desired, with sliced green onions.
