Recipe by Allison Fishman Sweet and tangy barbeque glazed pork gets a fresh lift when served with rice and crunchy edamame and snap peas.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. long-grain white rice
  • 1 c. frozen edamame
  • 2 scallions
  • 4 oz. snap peas
  • 2 tbsp. ketchup
  • 2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 1 tbsp. Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and fold in the edamame and scallions, then the snap peas.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and chili powder. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes total.
  3. Brush the pork with half the ketchup mixture and roast until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes.
  4. Transfer the pork to a cutting board, brush with the remaining ketchup mixture and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the rice and sprinkle with the sesame seeds, if desired.
