Instructions
-
Rinse 3/4 cup uncooked rice until the water runs mostly clear.
-
Slice 12 oz pork tenderloin across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt and let stand for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables and glaze.
-
Thinly slice 8 oz cabbage. Slice 2 green onion stalks, keeping the white and green parts separate. Grate 1 tablespoon ginger and mince 2 garlic cloves.
-
Whisk 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, and 2 tablespoons water into a glaze.
-
Put the rinsed rice in a saucepan with 1 1/4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave covered for 5 minutes.
-
While the rice cooks, heat 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the pork in a single layer, working in batches if needed, for 3–4 minutes, until the thickest piece reaches 145°F. Transfer to a plate and let rest for at least 3 minutes while you cook the cabbage.
-
Add 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil and the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Season with 3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt and stir-fry for about 4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Add the green onion whites, ginger, and garlic; stir-fry for 30 seconds.
-
Pour in the glaze and simmer for about 30 seconds. Return the rested pork and any juices to the skillet and toss briefly to coat.
-
Fluff the rice and divide it between two bowls. Spoon the pork and cabbage over it and finish with the green onion greens.
