Ingredients
Scale
- 200g enoki mushrooms, trimmed
- 300g pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Slice the pork tenderloin thinly, aiming for about 1/4 inch thick slices. If needed, freeze the tenderloin for 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
- Lay the pork slices on a clean cutting board and gently pound them with a meat mallet to make them thinner and more tender.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create a marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the pork slices, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15-30 minutes, or longer for maximum flavor.
- Trim off the root ends of the enoki mushrooms, keeping them in small clusters for easier rolling.
- Rinse the mushrooms gently under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Take a slice of marinated pork and lay it flat on a cutting board. Place a small handful of enoki mushrooms at one end of the pork slice.
- Roll the pork around the mushrooms tightly, ensuring the mushrooms dont get squished out.
- Secure the roll with a toothpick or a small piece of kitchen twine. Repeat with the remaining pork slices and enoki mushrooms.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, place the pork rolls in the skillet, seam side down, without overcrowding the pan.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C) or by cutting one roll in half to ensure the pork is no longer pink.
- Remove the rolls from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the pork overnight if time allows.
- Serve the rolls garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation.
