Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Pepper
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin, bite-sized strips.
Season the pork strips with salt and pepper, then set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade and sauce base.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set aside for later use.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned pork strips to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the prepared honey-soy sauce mixture. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Return the cooked pork strips to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until they are fully coated and heated through.
Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using).
Serve hot over steamed rice or your choice of noodles for a complete meal.
