Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
To prepare delicious and tender pork in creamy ginger sauce, prepare the necessary ingredients. For this dish, it is better to use a tenderloin - pork will turn out more tender, juicier and softer. But you can use any other flesh without bones to taste. Additionally, you do not need to salt and pepper the dish - soy sauce replaces salt in this dish, and thanks to ginger, pork will turn out to be an island anyway.
Step 2:
Rinse and dry the pork tenderloin. Cut the meat into medallions 2-3 cm thick .
Step 3:
Peel the ginger root and grate it on a fine grater. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut into half rings.
Step 5:
Dilute corn starch in a small amount of cold cream. This way you will avoid the appearance of lumps. Starch can be replaced with flour. If you use potato starch, then you need to take 1/2 tsp .
Step 6:
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat. Lay out the pork and fry on all sides until golden brown for about 10 minutes. Determine the degree of roast pork to your taste. I love it when the pieces are fried to a strong brown crust, as in the photo. If desired, you can fry pork until light golden brown.
Step 7:
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion cut into half rings to the meat in the pan and fry everything together, stirring, for about 3 minutes.
Step 8:
Then add the crushed garlic and grated ginger. Stir and fry everything together for another 1 minute.
Step 9:
Pour in the soy sauce and simmer over low heat, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Pork should be well soaked with sauce from all sides.
Step 10:
Pour the cream with diluted starch and the remaining cream into the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer under the lid for another 5 minutes.
Step 11:
Remove the finished pork in creamy ginger sauce from the fire. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions and serve. Enjoy your meal!
