Sticky Chinese Pork Loin with Low-Sugar Barbecue Sauce Directions:
- Spray a large pan with non-stick spray and heat over medium heat.
- Add the pork loin pieces to the pan and sear them until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the pork loin from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Return the pork loin to the pan. Add the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, low-sugar barbecue sauce, additional soy sauce, granulated sweetener, and water.
- Stir to combine, making sure the pork loin is coated in the sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 1-1.5 hours, or until the pork loin is tender and the sauce has thickened to a sticky consistency.
- Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
