Pork in Garlic Sauce

★★★★★

5 from 3 reviews

This classic takeout recipe is so much better homemade and it’s super easy to throw together!

Ingredients

Scale

For the pork

  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper

For the sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
  • 1 big pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Start off by making your sauce – you want that ready to go by the time you cook your pork, because things happen pretty quickly once the cooking starts. To make the sauce, add all ingredients (soy sauce, both sugars, vinegar, chicken stock, garlic, and pepper flakes) into a bowl and whisk to combine.
  2. Slice the pork, season it with salt and pepper, and coat the pieces evenly in your cornstarch
  3. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium high heat with your coconut oil
  4. When hot, add your pork and cook until it has started to brown. You don’t want to cook it all the way through here! It finishes cooking in the sauce
  5. Once your pork has browned for a few minutes, lower the heat to medium, add the white parts of your green onions, and add your sauce. Let the sauce cook down and the pork cook through (this won’t take long!)
  6. Once the pork is cooked through, remove the pan from the heat and garnish with the sliced green tops of your green onions

Notes

This should definitely be served over something that will soak up that extra sauce! I recommend rice, but quinoa would also be a yummy, extra-healthy alternative!
