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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the glaze.

Step 3

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry; set it aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced pork to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the glaze mixture over the cooked pork, stirring to coat the meat evenly.

Step 7

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the glazed pork with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve the Glazed Ginger Pork hot over steamed rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables.
