Feel free to change things up based on flavor preference, availability of ingredients, and time constraints. For instance, carrots can be purchased pre-shredded, and shelf-stable and frozen rice is available in convenient microwavable pouches, which may be easier than cooking from scratch.
Ingredients
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into ¾ x ¾-in pieces
½ tsp ground ginger
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 teaspoon sesame oil, divided
3 cups broccoli slaw or other coleslaw mix
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 large carrot, shredded on the large holes of a box grater, (1 cup)
½ cup thinly sliced green onion, divided
2 cups cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice
Optional Toppings: Chopped roasted peanuts, roughly chopped cilantro, spicy sriracha mayo*, or any other favorite sauce
Directions:
Instructions
Heat 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl oil around pan. Add pork, and cook, stirring often, until cooked through and slightly pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to shallow bowl and set aside.
Raise heat to medium-high. Add remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Add coleslaw mix, bell pepper, carrot, and few pinches salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add pork, any juices, and half the green onion back to skillet. Heat until warmed through, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place brown rice in individual bowls. Spoon pork-cabbage mixture over rice. Garnish with remaining green onions and peanuts, cilantro, and sauce, as desired.
Notes
* Spicy sriracha mayo can be made by whisking together ⅓ cup light mayonnaise, 4 tsp sriracha sauce, 2 T lime juice, and kosher salt, to taste.
