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

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin, bite-sized strips.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce base.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to make a slurry. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Transfer the teriyaki pork to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Step 11

Serve immediately with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
