**Peking Pork**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb pork loin, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
– 2 green onions, chopped
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Steamed rice, for serving
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and five-spice powder. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Add the thinly sliced pork loin to the bowl with the marinade. Make sure the pork is well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (for best results, marinate overnight).
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
4. Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the marinated pork slices in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if needed. Reserve the marinade for later use.
5. Sear the pork slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are caramelized and cooked through. The pork should have a lovely golden-brown color.
6. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the pork. Stir well to coat the pork with the sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Throw in the chopped green onions and toss everything together.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Peking Pork hot over a bed of steamed rice.
9. Garnish with extra chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
