Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Canola oil
- 1 cup Unsalted peanuts
- 2 Green onions
- 1 Red chili pepper
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 4 cups White rice (cooked)
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place it into a mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the pork.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Pour this marinade over the pork, mix well to coat, and set aside for 10 minutes.
While the pork marinates, slice the green onions, finely chop the red chili pepper, and lightly crush the unsalted peanuts. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. This will thicken the sauce later.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork (reserving any extra marinade) and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through.
Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the crushed peanuts, green onions, and red chili pepper over the pork. Toss to combine.
Serve the ginger pork on a bed of freshly cooked white rice. Garnish with additional green onions or chili flakes if desired.
