Pork, Mushroom and Cabbage Stir fry (low carb)

Ingredients

1/3 cup water
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp arrowroot starch
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp cooking oil, divided
1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 eggs lightly beaten
8 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 small head cabbage, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together water, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, arrowroot starch and pepper flakes. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer pork to a plate.
Add eggs to pan and cook until just set, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate with pork.
Add remaining oil and stir fry mushrooms with a little salt and pepper until tender. Transfer to plate with pork.
Add shredded cabbage to the pan with a little more salt and stir-fry until tender and slightly wilted, but not soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Return pork, eggs and mushrooms to the pan. Add sauce and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
