Instructions

Step 1: Toss 12 oz thinly sliced pork tenderloin with 1 tsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl until evenly coated.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork slices in a single layer and sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp finely minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4: Add 4 sliced scallions (2-inch pieces), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 2 tbsp water to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes until scallions soften and sauce slightly thickens.
Step 5: Return the pork to the skillet, drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over, and toss everything together for 1 minute until pork is coated and heated through. Serve immediately.
