Instructions
- 1Rinse the brown rice and cook it on the stovetop according to its package directions until tender, then keep it covered.
- 2Thinly slice the cabbage and pork tenderloin, cut the broccoli into small florets, finely grate the ginger, and mince the garlic.
- 3Do not rinse the pork. Pat it dry, season it with kosher salt and black pepper, and cook it in half the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and the thickest pieces reach 145°F (63°C). Transfer the pork to a clean plate. Wash the board, knife, and your hands with soap and water before touching anything else, then rest at least 3 minutes before slicing.
- 4Add the remaining canola oil to the skillet. Add the cabbage and broccoli, season lightly with salt, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the cabbage is slightly softened.
- 5Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the soy sauce and rice vinegar, then return the pork and any clean plate juices to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce lightly coats the pork and the pork is hot throughout, reaching 145°F (63°C) when reheated, then rest at least 3 minutes before slicing.
- 6Taste and adjust with black pepper, salt if needed, or a small splash of rice vinegar. Serve over the brown rice.
