3/4 cup uncooked long-grain rice |
1/3 cup chopped green onions |
1/4 cup dry-roasted cashews, salted and coarsely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
2 tablespoons cornstarch, divided |
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, divided |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided |
2 cups sliced mushrooms (about 4 ounces) |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed (about 6 ounces) |
1 cup chopped red bell pepper (about 1) |

3. Combine pork, remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a bowl, tossing well to coat. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; sauté 4 minutes or until browned. Remove from pan.
4. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan. Add mushrooms and 1 cup onion; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add peas and bell pepper to pan; sauté 1 minute. Stir in pork; sauté 1 minute. Add reserved broth mixture to pan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly. Serve over cashew rice.
