Sweet and Spicy Minced Pork

I was in an Asian mood today after planning out what I would do with some of the sale items from last week. It's kinda extravagant, but we had pork tenderloin getting freezer burn, so I thawed it and googled minced pork recipes. Some were sweet only, some were spicy only, so hello another amalgamation to get what I wanted.

Sweet and Spicy Minced Pork


serves 3

1 lb pork tenderloin, chopped into little pieces
1 small onion chopped
1 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp cayenne powder
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil

Add the plain oil to a skillet or wok over high heat.
In a small bowl, mix spices, sugar and cornstarch.
Add water and soy sauce and stir well.
Add the meat and onion to the pan and flash fry, 2-3 minutes.
Add the sauce to pan and let thicken, about 1- 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and drizzle sesame oil over top.
Serve on a bed of your favourite rice.

A nice sweet and spicy dish in a golden sauce. Yum!
