# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Pork and Seasoning
01 -
680 g pork tenderloin or pork shoulder, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
02 -
15 ml olive oil
03 -
5 g salt
04 -
2 g black pepper
05 -
3 g garlic powder
06 -
1 g smoked paprika
→ Balsamic Glaze
07 -
60 ml balsamic vinegar
08 -
15 g Dijon mustard
09 -
15 g honey or brown sugar
10 -
5 ml soy sauce
11 -
1 garlic clove, minced
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
In a bowl, combine pork cubes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss until all pieces are thoroughly coated.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork cubes in a single layer and sear on all sides until golden and browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
03 -
While pork is searing, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey or brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth.
04 -
Reduce skillet heat to medium. Pour the prepared balsamic glaze over the pork and stir to coat evenly. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the pork nuggets.
05 -
Remove skillet from heat. Serve pork nuggets warm, optionally garnished with freshly chopped herbs.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For enhanced flavor, marinate pork in seasonings for 30 minutes before searing.
02 -
Serve alongside roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice.
03 -
Pork tenderloin yields a leaner result, while shoulder provides extra tenderness.
