How to Make Asian Style Red Pork Strips
- In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
- Add 1 lb of boneless pork strips (approx 1-inch thick) to the bowl and toss to ensure the pork is fully coated in the marinade.
- Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, for optimal flavor development.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the pork from the marinade. Pat the strips dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Arrange the pork strips in a single layer on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through, tender, and lightly browned. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy in your favorite sandwich, on rice, or as a delicious snack!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
