Directions:Prep the Pork COMBINE salt, garlic powder, white pepper, ground ginger, and Chinese 5-spice in a small bowl.
PLACE pork tenderloin in a gallon-sized zip top bag. Drizzle with sesame oil then sprinkle with spice blend. Work the spices in, making sure the pork is well coated.
SET the pork aside while you make the dressing.
Make the Dressing USE a mason jar or the container that came with your immersion blender, adding all dressing ingredients at once.
BLEND with immersion blender until dressing is well combined. It will be very thin. Set aside.
Recipe note: the dressing will separate as it sits, so shake/stir well before serving.
Make the Grilled PREHEAT the grill to medium-high heat and grease the grates using tongs to hold a bunched up paper towel saturated with olive oil.
GRILL the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145-150 degrees. I like the 7-6-5 method. With the lid closed, cook for 7 minutes on one side, flip and cook for 6 minutes, flip and cook for 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it and if it seems to be burning, lower the heat (or move to indirect heat). Add more time as needed to come up to temp.
Assemble the Greens PILE four plates high with both types of cabbage.
TOP with green onions, shredded carrots, oranges, and sliced almonds.
ALLOW the pork to rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice it into ¼” – ½” medallions. Add medallions to each salad.
DRIZZLE with dressing and enjoy! |
