Soy-Marinated Pork Sandwich

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 3/4 teaspoon sesame oil
• 12 ounces pork tenderloin, trimmed and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup shaved carrots
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
• 4 (1 1/2 ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns

Directions

Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper, ginger, and sesame oil in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add pork to bowl; toss well to coat. Let pork mixture stand at room temperature 15 minutes.

Preheat broiler to high.

While pork marinates, combine vinegar, 1 teaspoon canola oil, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk. Add carrot, onions, and cilantro; toss to coat.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 teaspoon canola oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes or until done, turning occasionally.

While pork cooks, place buns on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Broil 1 minute or until lightly toasted. Top bottom halves of buns evenly with pork. Divide carrot mixture evenly among servings. Cover sandwiches with top halves of buns.
