Ingredients
2 tablespoons hot chili paste (I like sambal oelek, but sriracha can also work)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, very thinly sliced (see notes)

Steps
Shake all the sauce ingredients in a jar. Pour the sauce over the pork and allow it to rest for 20 minutes – 1 hour.
Heat a good searing skillet (such as cast iron) *affiliate link over high heat. Add just a little bit of vegetable oil.
When the oil is hot and shiny, add the pork in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook, undisturbed, for 1-2 minutes until you are getting that nice caramelized look. Flip and repeat to finish.
That’s it! Serve with rice and veggies (details in notes section) and enjoy your flavortown masterpiece.

Priya on 2019-05-21 (5 stars): Tried this recipe last night with chicken breast instead of pork and it was excellent. It's tough to think of different ways to cook chicken breast without the end result being dry, tough, and bland, but this recipe results in flavorful and moist chicken. This will be my new go to for meal prep!
Hillary on 2019-07-19 (5 stars): Made this tonight, cooked it in the marinade using a sous vide. It was fantastic! we also made a sauce by thickening marinade with some arrowroot powder. Yum!
sierra on 2019-05-22 (4 stars): alot of people wish cooking was this easy I love to cook but sometimes I wish I just need 5 or less ingredients. this is so simple and quick and a great meal for this who love a kick and pork. I have a thing for spicy foods and I live pork so this would be perfect plus the fact that I only need five things to make it

Emily James on 2019-05-28 (5 stars): Made this tonight and it was a hit! Defintily didn't cut the meat in thin enough slices so it took longer to cook but it was delicious!
Mallory Allgeier on 2019-05-29 (5 stars): I made this last night and LOVED it!! I added some rice vinegar and sesame oil to the sauce and let it marinate for a few hours. We ate it with quinoa and kimchi. So tasty.
Alicia on 2019-06-05 (5 stars): I made this last night with very thinly sliced chicken breast and it was AMAZING! Thank you.
Colleen on 2019-06-17 (5 stars): Made this tonight and it was fantastic! Super easy - as promised, the pork sliced easily after a quick visit to the freezer. I marinated for about 4 hours. I paired this with brown rice and broccoli and carrots (which I chopped and marinated with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and sesame oil). It received rave reviews from my husband and my 2 year old!
