Description

When I became serious about losing weight and getting healthy, my kids missed the Chinese delivery that I used to order so frequently. I combined a few recipes to come up with this tasty winner.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dry sherry or reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound), cut into 1/2-in. slices
  • hot cooked brown rice, optional
  • sliced green onions, optional

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the first six ingredients until blended.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. In batches, cook pork 3-4 minutes on each side or until tender; remove from pan.
  3. In same skillet, bring sauce mixture to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Return pork to pan; heat through, turning to coat. If desired, serve with rice and top with green onions.
