Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Wash the pork tenderloin thoroughly under running cold water and pat it dry. Removing excess moisture is crucial to prevent splattering oil when stir-frying and to help retain the meat’s juices.
Step 2
2. Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3cm). Carefully trim away any tendons or tough sinew you find, as this will ensure a more tender result.
Step 3
3. To tenderize the meat and add natural sweetness, use pear juice, balloon flower root and pear juice, onion juice, or fruit juice. Pour the prepared juice over the meat and gently knead it with your hands. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes to soften the pork.
Step 4
4. Now, let’s make the flavorful seasoning. For approximately 1kg of pork tenderloin, combine minced green onion (from 2 stalks), minced garlic (2 Tbsp), gochujang (1 cup), seasoned soy sauce (100ml), sugar (2 Tbsp), a pinch of black pepper, and sesame oil (2 Tbsp). Mix well. Add this seasoning mixture to the pork that was marinating in the juice and mix thoroughly.
Step 5
5. After seasoning the pork, let it marinate for an additional 15 minutes rather than stir-frying immediately. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat, resulting in a richer taste and even more tender pork.
Step 6
6. Slice the green parts of the green onions diagonally into about 1cm pieces. Cut the onion into thick slices. Add these prepared vegetables to the marinated pork and toss lightly to combine, preparing for the stir-fry.
Step 7
7. It’s time to stir-fry everything together deliciously. Heat a pan and add the prepared ingredients. Stir-fry quickly over high heat. Continue cooking until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender but still have a slight bite. This completes your delicious pork tenderloin stir-fry. Proper heat control will help maintain the vegetables’ crispness.
