Ingredients
  

For the Pork
  • 1.5 pound pork tenderloin sliced into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup neutral oil for frying, plus extra for broccoli
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
  • 3 large garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
For the Broccoli and Serving
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt plus extra for broccoli
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus extra for broccoli
  • hot cooked rice for serving

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large frying pan
  • Small bowl
  • Shallow dish
  • bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a large baking sheet.
  2. Slice the pork tenderloin into bite-size pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and ketchup until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Place the pork pieces in a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Toss to coat the pork evenly.
  5. In a shallow dish, beat the eggs.
  6. Heat the neutral oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  7. When the oil is hot, dip the cornstarch-coated pork pieces into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Immediately place the pork into the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan and ensuring the pork is in a single layer.
  8. Fry the pork for a few minutes until the underside is lightly browned. Flip the pork and fry for a few more minutes until cooked through. The cornstarch coating will be a light brown.
  9. Transfer the fried pork to one side of the prepared baking sheet. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the pork and toss to coat. Leave space on the other side of the baking sheet for the broccoli.
  10. Place the broccoli florets on the empty side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with a little extra oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  11. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 7 minutes. Toss the pork and broccoli separately, then bake for another 7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  12. Serve the honey garlic pork and broccoli over hot cooked rice.
