Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 0.25 cups honey
• 1 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 0.25 cups water
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch cubes.

Step 2

Season the pork pieces with salt and pepper. Toss the pieces in cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the pork pieces in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 5

Add the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture come to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the seared pork to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Garnish the dish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
