Ingredients
1 lb (450g) pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 green onions, sliced
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Pat pork slices dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add pork in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook without stirring for 1 minute until browned. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the honey-soy mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return pork to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1 minute until heated through.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over rice.
Tips
For best results, slice pork against the grain into thin strips.
Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for spiciness.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
