Thai Pork and Papaya














Ingredients:

7.6 oz couscous/Quinoa/brown rice (Optional)

1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 tsp ground ginger

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 lb pork tenderloin, sliced into 1/2 inch strips

Juice 1 lime

1/4 cup minced cliantro

1 lb Hawaiian papaya, peeled, halved, seeds removed and reserved, flesh cut into 1/2 inch cubes


Instruction:

  1. Cook Quinoa, brown rice or Couscous as directed and set a side (optional).
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium for 1 minute. Add soy sauce, ginger, garlic and pork and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, occasionally flipping pork strips with a spatula until meat is cooked through. Remove skillet from heat and stir in lime juice and cilantro.
  3. Place 1 cup quinoa, brown rice or couscous onto each of 4 plates. Top each with 2 oz pork mixture, 1/2 cup papaya and 1 tbsp skillet juices. Garnish with reserved papaya seeds, if desired.
This is a recipe that can be easy doubled. Just make sure if your doubling the meat your doubling the rest of the ingredients. Enjoy!
