Garlic Ginger Glazed Pork
-
8oz pork loin, thinly sliced and bite-sized pieces
-
1/2 cup Honey Roasted Garlic sauce
-
1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you like things)
-
3/4 tsp powdered ginger
-
Sesame oil
-
Sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
-
Choose a skillet that is large enough to place all the pieces in a single layer without overcrowding; if necessary, cook them in two batches.
-
Place enough sesame oil in the skillet to thinly coat the bottom (usually around 2-3 Tbsp, once oil is heated) and heat over a medium flame until the oil "shimmers".
-
While you're waiting for the oil to heat up, combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
-
Once oil is heated, place the strips of pork in the pan, leaving room between pieces for the steam to escape as it cooks.
-
Leave the pieces undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, until they have browned and easily release from the pan. Flip over and cook another 1-2 minutes, until the pork is not quite done.
-
Remove pork from the pan and set aside.
-
Carefully pour the contents of the bowl into the hot pan; be careful as it will start to bubble Immediately and may possibly splatter a little.
-
Let the sauce cook down until it become a syrupy consistency that will stick to the pork.
-
Add the pork back into the pan, stir together with the sauce, and let cook 2-3 more minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is now a thick glaze.
-
Remove and serve (I like serving it on top of rice and broccoli), spooning extra glaze on top and sprinkling with sesame seeds if desired.
