Spicy Honey Orange Sliced Pork

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp. peanut oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp. Chinese five spice powder
  • 2-pounds pork tenderloin, very thinly sliced
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 2 tsp. chili paste or crushed chilis
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 small red pepper, chopped
  • 2 oranges, peeled and sectioned into wedges
  • Rice or Chinese noodles, optional

Instructions
 

  • Season the sliced pork with salt, pepper and the Chinese 5 spice powder.
  • Heat peanut oil in a very hot wok.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for only a minute.
  • When the garlic is softened, but not browned, add the thinly sliced pork with the salt, pepper and five spice powder.
  • Quickly stir fry the seasoned pork, in small batches; about a 1/2-pound at a time; this will take only a minute or two per batch at very high heat; do not overcook the pork or it will be too dry.
  • Remove the pork from wok; set aside.
  • To the wok, add the orange juice, chili paste, vinegar and ginger.
  • Simmer until the volume of the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Add the hoisin sauce and honey.
  • Simmer for an additional few minutes until the sauce is thickened and very bubbly.
  • Add the cooked pork along with the red pepper and orange wedges.
  • Cook until the pork is heated thoroughly; only a minute or two.
  • Serve over steamed rice or Chinese noodles, if desired.
