Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Water
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the glaze.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry; set it aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced pork to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the glaze mixture over the cooked pork, stirring to coat the meat evenly.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the glazed pork with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the Glazed Ginger Pork hot over steamed rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables.
