Ingredients
Pork Ingredients
- 2 to 3 pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sauce Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Ingredients for serving
- White rice
- Sesame seeds
- Green onion sliced
Instructions
- Cut the pork into thin strips. Add the pork, along with sesame oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder, and stir to coat the pork.
- For sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl until everything is well mixed, and set it aside.
- Add about one tablespoon of vegetable oil to a large skillet (or wok) and heat over medium-high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, saute the pork, in batches, making sure to sear all sides. (The proper internal temperature for cooked pork is 145 degrees.)
- When the pork is cooked, reduce the heat to medium low, and add the sauce to the skillet, stirring regularly. Let it cook for a couple of minutes to start to thicken, and then add the pork, and stir to coat it with the sauce.
- Continue cooking until the sauce is coating the pork and everything is heated through.
- Serve over white rice and top with sesame seeds and/or sliced green onions.
