**Caramelized Pork**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 ½ lbs pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– ¼ cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons water
– Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by preparing the pork tenderloin. Slice it thinly into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork tenderloin pieces and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
4. Once the pork is browned, reduce the heat to medium and pour the marinade over the pork in the skillet. Stir to coat the pork evenly.
5. Cook the pork in the marinade, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and the flavors are well combined. If the sauce becomes too thick, add 2 tablespoons of water to achieve a caramel-like consistency.
6. Once the pork is cooked and the sauce has caramelized, remove the skillet from the heat.
7. Serve the Caramelized Pork hot over a bed of steamed rice, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for extra flavor and a pop of color.
