ORANGE PORK WITH PEPPERS
2 tablespoons oil
1 small onion, slivered, 2 1/2 ounces
2 medium carrots, julienned, 5 3/4 ounces
1 pound leftover roast pork, julienned
4 small bell peppers, julienned *
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Sauce (see recipe below)

Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the onions and carrots; stir-fry just until the carrots start to lose a little of their crunch. Add the pork and peppers. Stir-fry until the pork is heated through and the peppers are tender-crisp. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the meat and vegetables; mix well. Pour in the sauce mixture and cook until thickened.

Makes 4 servings

* I used one each green, red, yellow and orange or about 11 ounces of pepper strips.

I got this idea from an America's Test Kitchen recipe called Orange-Flavored Chicken. I wanted to try the sauce mixture before trying the chicken recipe so I used it with some leftover pork roast that I had on hand. Even with all the tweaks I had to make to make it low carb, the sauce is delicious. It's not too sweet and has a nice tang from the orange zest. It has a very nice orange flavor. I've included the counts without carrots for those who don't eat them. Click the photo to see a close-up.
