Sesame Ginger Pork Bites

 I adapted this recipe for some yummy pork bites! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/83117/asian-pork-tenderloin/?src=rss

Ingredients
    1/3 cup soy sauce
    2 Tbsp sesame oil
    2 Tbsp vegetable oil
    2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    2 Tbsp brown sugar
    3 green onions, chopped
    4 cloves garlic, crushed/minced
    2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and grated
    1 1/2 tablespoons Asian chile paste
    1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
    splash of white vinegar (maybe 1 Tbsp?)

    4 boneless pork chops, or 1 fat-trimmed pork tenderloin (1 1/2 - 2 lbs) chopped into bite sized cubes


Directions
Pour into a medium bowl the soy sauce, sesame and veggie oil, and Worcestershire sauce. Then whisk in brown sugar until dissolved. Add green onions, garlic, ginger, chile paste, vinegar and pepper. Add the cubed meat to the bowl and mix well to coat. Cover dish, and refrigerate at least 8 hours, preferably around 24 hours.

To cook the meat I removed it from the marinade, removing excess but without patting totally dry. In a cast iron (or other nonstick) skillet over high heat I seared it several minutes on each side, stirring and flipping occasionally, until well done. I try to leave it long enough to get a nice brown sear in several places.






The original recipe called for cooking it in the oven, so follow these directions if you choose: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Transfer pork with marinade into an aluminum foil-lined baking pan. Roast in a preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes. Remove, and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before carving.

Goes well with rice and steamed broccoli!
