🥘 Ingredients

16 items

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 tsp Sesame oil

• 12 Lettuce leaves
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

2. Peel and finely grate the ginger and garlic. Add them to a bowl along with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the marinade.

3. Place the sliced pork in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour half the marinade over the pork, reserving the other half for later. Mix to coat evenly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

4. While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the green onions, julienne the carrot, and cut the cucumber into matchsticks. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, keeping them whole.

5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set aside.

6. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork strips (discarding the excess marinade) and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through.

7. Lower the heat to medium and pour in the reserved marinade. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Allow it to simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce coats the pork.

8. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the pork with sesame seeds.

9. To serve, place a few pieces of cooked pork, along with some green onions, carrot, and cucumber, onto a lettuce leaf. Wrap it up like a taco and enjoy immediately!
