My family gobbled up this pork con tiki recipe and I think yours will, too! With a make-ahead marinade and delicious, tender meat, this is a win! I wasn't sure whether to be happy that my family demolished this meal. Or to be sad because they ate all three pounds of meat in less than 24 hours. And I only have two toddlers and a spouse! I guess it was just that good.
Make Ahead: You can marinate the pork and freeze it or marinate it 24 hours in advance. Then, simply pull out of your freezer, thaw, and voila! You have a 20 minute meal on your hands. Simply stir-fry and you have dinner. I love to use recipes like this for guests or when I have a busy day. I think you'll love it, too.
Sweet & Spicy Meat: You'll love the big flavor of this dish. With pineapple juice and soy sauce and brown sugar, this delicious meal will satisfy your cravings for substance.
Unique Way To Use Pork Tenderloin: Anyone else get a little bored of pot roasts but still want the benefits of using pork? I love how cheap pork is. But I honestly get sick of roasts! This meal offers a way to use cheap meat in a unique and special way. This pork con tiki recipe supplies big flavor without being boring.
The key here is to thinly slice the meat! Don't do huge cubes! Slice it thinly so it will stirfry quickly and be juicy and tender. Mine was about 1/2 inch thick.
Whisk those marinade ingredients in a bowl!
You want to marinade it at least 1 hour and up to a full 24 hour day. You could also marinade the pork and immediately freeze it.
Don't have these ingredients? Try these substitutions if necessary.
Pork Tenderloin- while pork is kinda the whole point of pork con tiki, you could substitute chicken breast if you are wanting a chicken-stir-fry. I'll probably end up doing this at some point when chicken breast goes on sale.
Ginger- can substitute 1/4 tsp of ginger powder for fresh ginger but only if absolutely necessary. Fresh ginger is just the best you guys!
