Ingredients
 

  • pounds pork tenderloin
  • tablespoons brown sugar, (Or use 1 - 1 ¼ tablespoons of brown sugar for less sweet version)
  • 2 garlic cloves, (minced)
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, (divided)

For Asian Bowl (Or Choose Your Own Favorite Vegetables):

Instructions
 

  • Freeze the pork in the freezer for 30 minutes, until firm around the edges. 
  • Combine brown sugar, garlic, ginger, less-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil into a bowl. Set aside. 
  • Trim the silverskin then cut the pork tenderloin against the grain into small thin slices. Transfer into a bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
    Pour in the sauce and gently shake until the meat is covered in sauce, then put it in the fridge for 10 minutes or up to 2 hours. 
  • Heat up 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat then cook the first batch of loin undisturbed, until dark brown underneath for about 1 - 1½ minutes (depending on the thickness).
    Toss the meat, breaking up using tongs or wooden spoon and continue cooking on the side for 1 - 1½ minutes or until brown. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Wipes the skillet to clean excess dirt, add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook the remaining meat.

To Build an Asian Bowl:

  • Add a generous amount of rice, pork meat, spinach salad, carrots, scallion, radish and spicy sauce (such as Gochujang or Sriracha) into a bowl. Enjoy!
