Mirin, a rice wine with a low alcohol content, is the key ingredient to this teriyaki sauce's authentic flavor. The wine's high sugar content allows it to reduce into a syrup glaze. Look for mirin in the Asian foods section of your local supermarket. Serve with Pineapple Salsa and precooked white rice. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine) |
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce |
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil |
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin |
cooking spray |
pineapple salsa |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients, stirring with a whisk.
2. Cut pork crosswise into 8 pieces. Place pork pieces between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound each piece to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pork generously with cooking spray; add to pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove pork from pan; place on a serving platter. Add mirin mixture to pan. Cook 2 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly.
4. Return pork and accumulated juices to pan. Cook 2 minutes, turning pork to coat. Serve pork with sauce and Pineapple Salsa.
