Hunan BBQ Pork

Hunan BBQ Pork is a flavorful and spicy dish, featuring tender pork marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and grilled to perfection. This dairy-free version captures the essence of Hunan cuisine with its bold flavors and vibrant colors.

Ingredients

• Pork tenderloin - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Hoisin sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Chili paste - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1 cm thick.
2. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili paste, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
3. Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Remove the pork from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
6. Grill the pork strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
7. While grilling, heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer and thickens slightly.
8. Once the pork is grilled, brush it with the thickened marinade for extra flavor.
9. Serve the grilled pork garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
