CURRY KETCHUP PORK

Curry Ketchup Pork image

This recipe is one of the easiest things you can do with pork. Tomato ketchup is already rich in flavor so this dish doesn't require much unless you want to put in more vegetables. To add something green in this dish, I've added bitter melon.

Ingredients

½ small bitter melon
6 ounces pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
¼ medium onion, sliced
⅓ medium carrot, cut into thin strips
3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper

Steps:

Cut bitter melon along its length. Remove any seeds in the center by scraping them out with a spoon. Slice thinly crosswise, then soak in salt water for at least 5 minutes. Drain.
Combine bitter melon with pork, onion, and carrot in a large, microwave-safe bowl.
Combine ketchup, curry powder, sesame oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; mix well. Pour over melon-pork mixture and toss until well mixed. Cover and microwave at 600W for 4 minutes.
Remove from the microwave, uncover, and mix. Return to the microwave and cook until pork is well done, 1 to 2 more minutes.
