Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pound pork tenderloin
  • 3 large garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus extra for broccoli
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for broccoli
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup neutral oil for frying, plus extra for broccoli
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • As needed Hot cooked rice, for serving

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and have ready a large baking sheet.
  2. Slice the pork into bite-size pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce: the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and ketchup. Whisk well to dissolve, and set aside.
  4. Place the pork in a bowl, add the salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Toss to coat the pork well in the mixture.
  5. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish and have ready.
  6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan.
  7. When the oil is hot, begin dipping the pork: shake off the excess cornstarch, dunk it in the beaten egg, and then immediately place it in the pan with the hot oil. Repeat with all remaining pork. You can crowd the pan a bit, but do not stack the pork into more than one layer.
  8. When the pork has been frying for a few minutes and the underside does not look like wet batter, flip it. Fry on the other side for a few minutes until it no longer looks wet.
  9. Move the pork to the large baking sheet, placing it all to one end of the pan. Pour the honey garlic sauce on top, and toss to coat. Keep the sauce and pork to one side of the pan, leaving room for the broccoli on the other side.
  10. Place the broccoli florets on the other side of the baking sheet, drizzle with extra oil, salt, and pepper, and toss.
  11. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 7 minutes. Toss the pork pieces separately from the broccoli, and then bake another 7 minutes.
  12. Serve over hot rice.
