Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin, bite-sized strips.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce base.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to make a slurry. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced pork to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce mixture into the same skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Let it cook for another 2 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
Transfer the teriyaki pork to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
