Ingredients
  

For the Pork
  • 1.5 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup neutral oil for frying plus extra for broccoli
For the Sauce
  • 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
For Serving
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • Hot cooked rice for serving

Equipment

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

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. Dip each piece of pork into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off, then immediately place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Ensure the pork is in a single layer.
  8. Fry the pork for a few minutes on each side until lightly browned. The cornstarch coating will be a pale 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, 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.
  12. Serve the honey garlic pork and broccoli over hot cooked rice.
