Ginger Pork

This recipe is one that my mom taught me when we were visiting for Thanksgiving. It's a quick and easy dish for those nights when you don't have time to cook and don't want to spend the money to eat out.

1 pound of pork tenderloin

1 inch long piece of fresh ginger root

4 tbs of brown sugar

4 tbs of soy sauce

Tip: You don't have to buy a lot of ginger root. Typically, the store sells a huge piece of ginger root. I normally just break off as much as I need

1. Place a pan on the stove and let it heat up. Add a little bit of vegetable oil and let that heat up. You want the pan nice and hot for the meat.

2. While the pan is heating up, cut the tenderloin into thin slices. Throw the meat into the pan and let it cook until it changes color.

3. Mince the ginger root and throw it into the pan with the meat. If you have a zester you can use that to get the ginger into really small bits.

4. Add the soy sauce and brown sugar to the pan and coat the meat in the mixture. You can add more soy sauce and sugar if you want more sauce; just make sure that you keep the ratio of the two ingredients 1 to 1.

5. Let the sauce thicken up a bit and then serve along with rice.
