5 Ingredient Spicy Pork
Prep 25 min Cook 10 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons hot chili paste (I like sambal oelek, but sriracha can also work)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, very thinly sliced (see notes)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups rice, uncooked
  • 2 carrots, sliced into coins
  • 3 cups spinach, cooked down
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced

Steps

  1. 1

    Shake all the sauce ingredients in a jar. Pour the sauce over the pork and allow it to rest for 20 minutes – 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Heat a good searing skillet (such as cast iron) *affiliate link over high heat. Add just a little bit of vegetable oil.

  3. 3

    When the oil is hot and shiny, add the pork in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook, undisturbed, for 1-2 minutes until you are getting that nice caramelized look. Flip and repeat to finish.

  4. 4

    That’s it! Serve with rice and veggies (details in notes section) and enjoy your flavortown masterpiece.
