Sesame pork

Ingredients

• 2 pork chops (boneless is easier) or a pork tenderloin, sliced into 1/2-inch thick strips.
• 1 large onion (sliced into thick half-moons)
• 1 large carrot (sliced into thin coins)
• 2 cups of chopped cabbage.
• 1 tsp chili flakes (more if you like it hot)
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• a pinch of black pepper.

Marinade

Toss the pork strips in a bowl with:

• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil
• Your Spice Rub (chili flakes, garlic, pepper).

Let this sit for 5–10 minutes while you chop the veggies.

The Step-by-Step Cooking

Step 1:  Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Once the pan is shimmering hot, add the pork strips in a single layer. Don't stir them for 2-3 minutes. You want a dark, caramelized crust. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, then move the pork to a plate to rest.

Step 2:  In the same pan (keep those brown bits at the bottom!), add the onions and carrots. If the pan looks dry, add a tiny splash of water or soy sauce. Sauté for 3 minutes until the onions are slightly softened but still have a bit of a "bite."

Step 3: Add the cabbage to the pan. Toss it with the onions and carrots for just 1 to 2 minutes. You want the cabbage to turn bright green and just start to soften, but keep its crunch. Turn the heat down to low.

Step 4: Push the veggies to the side of the pan. In the empty space, add:

• 2 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
• 1 tsp Sriracha or Chili Oil
• A tiny splash of Soy Sauce 

Stir this mixture quickly in the pan until it gets warm and turns into a thick, creamy sauce.

Step 5: Add the pork (and any juices from the plate) back into the pan. Toss everything together until the pork and veggies are coated in that spicy, creamy sauce.
