Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 slices boneless loin of pork, about 3 ounces each, trimmed of excess fat
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
4 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons sherry wine
1/8 teaspoon red hot pepper flakes
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 egg white
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 3/4 cups sesame seeds
2 tablespoons vegetable or corn oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh coriander

Steps:

  • Place the pork slices on a flat surface. Pound the meat lightly with a mallet or meat pounder.
  • Combine the shallots, ginger, white wine, sherry, pepper flakes, ground pepper and soy sauce in a bowl and blend. Place the pork in a dish. Pour the mixture over the pork and marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Combine the egg white with the cornstarch in a bowl and beat well with a wire whisk to blend.
  • Drain the pork medallions, reserving the marinade. Brush the medallions with the egg white mixture.
  • Pour the sesame seeds into a flat dish and dip the medallions one at a time in the seeds to coat both sides generously.
  • Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. When the oil is hot, add the slices of meat and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes or until brown. Turn the slices over and cook about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for about 2 minutes longer, turning the slices occasionally. Transfer the meat to a warm serving platter.
  • In a small saucepan, add the reserved marinade and bring to a simmer. Cook about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter and blend well.
  • Spoon the sauce over the pork medallions and sprinkle with coriander. Serve immediately.

I didn't have any sesame seeds, so I used crushed peanuts instead. It turned out great!

The sesame seeds didn't stick to the pork very well. I think I should have used a different type of oil.

The pork was a bit dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.
