Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the pork
- Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the sauce ingredients.
2
Prep the ginger-nectarine sauce ingredients
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure ⅓ cup [⅔ cup].
- Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
- Cut the nectarine in half and remove the pit; cut the fruit into ½-inch pieces.
- Measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] sherry vinegar for the sauce; set aside the rest for the salad.
3
Cook the ginger-nectarine sauce
In the same pan used for the pork, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion, ginger, and half the five-spice powder and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the nectarine and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] sherry vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper and more five-spice powder, if desired.
While the sauce is cooking, prepare the salad.
4
Make the kale salad
- Thinly slice the celery on the diagonal.
In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining sherry vinegar and 1½ tablespoons [3 TBL] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the celery and kale and toss to coat; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the kale salad and pork to individual plates. Top the pork with the ginger-nectarine sauce and serve.
