Ingredients
- 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 (swap for powdered garlic if you use Zesty Orange Ginger sauce instead)
- Sesame oil
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Chicken
-
Zesty Orange Ginger
Optional Base
Optional Sauce
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.
