Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons peeled and diced ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, silver skin removed, cut in 4 by 1/2-inch strips
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced on the bias 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, washed, stems trimmed
  • 1 jar store-bought kimchi
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot chili oil, optional
  • 4 cups prepared brown rice (2 cups raw)

Directions

Combine the soy, mirin, garlic chili sauce, ginger, garlic and honey or agave in a non reactive dish or resealable bag. Add the pork and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes or refrigerate up to 1 hour.

While the pork is marinating, chop the vegetables and set aside. Strain the kimchi reserving the liquid.

Drain the liquid from pork and reserve.

Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil and when smoking, add the pork and cook until just crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes, being careful not to overload the wok or pan, or the meat will steam. Remove the pork to plate and keep warm. Add the onions, spinach and kimchi and 1/2 of each reserved liquids (the pork marinade and kimchi liquid). Add more if you like extra sauce. Cook until pork is still tender and spinach is just wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer the pork mixture to a serving dish.

Garnish with cilantro and a drizzle of hot chili oil, if using. Serve with rice.

    A very tasty, easy meal. I lived in Korea for a few years and developed a taste for various types of kimchi. It is something that I really miss. So I loved this use of kimchi. The flavors really melded well with each other so that even those that say they do not like kimchi will probably like this (as long as they are okay with cabbage. If you have access to other types of kimchi, such as green beans, you could substitute. Do not do what I did - I let the pork marinate too long and the dish was a bit salty. The tenderloin really doesn't need much.
    I will definitely be making this again. A easy, fast midweek meal.

    This is a great recipe! The fresh ginger combined with the kimchi, spinach and pork makes for a well rounded, savory dish. Very easy to put together! We make this dish at least twice a month.
