Saucy pork and cabbage are served over fragrant jasmine rice for a hearty and aromatic finish.
Ingredients
3 tbsp canola oil
2 pork tenderloins, cut into bite-size chunks
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup low-sodium tamari, or soy sauce
4 tsp brown sugar
2 green onions, sliced diagonally
8 cups sliced napa cabbage
1/4 tsp salt
jasmine rice, optional
Instructions
HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over high. Add 2 tbsp canola oil, then half of the pork tenderloin chunks. Cook until pork is dark golden on all sides, 2 to 3 min. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with remaining pork.
ADD 2 minced garlic cloves, bay leaves, water, apple-cider vinegar, low-sodium tamari (or soy sauce) and brown sugar to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 min. Remove and discard bay leaves. Add pork and cook until cooked through, about 2 more min. Stir in green onions then transfer to a bowl or platter.
RETURN pan to stovetop over high. Add 1 tbsp canola oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, napa cabbage and salt.
COOK, stirring often, until tender-crisp, about 2 min. Serve alongside Pork Adobo, with jasmine rice if desired.
