Comments:
The original recipe called for more lemon juice. We found that too tangy for our tastes, so I've cut back the amount by 1/3.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve over rice and with a side dish of green vegetable, snow peas are good.
Ingredients:
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. five-spice powder
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), trimmed
Cooking spray
2 tbs. chopped green onions
1 tbs. minced peeled fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup fat-free, less sodium chicken broth
2 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. grated lemon rind
2 tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 tbs. low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbs. water
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients, and rub evenly over pork.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan, and cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove pork from pan, and set aside.

3. Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons onions, ginger, and garlic to pan; cook 2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring constantly. Combine sherry and next 5 ingredients (through soy sauce) in a small bowl. Add sherry mixture to pan; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes or until pork is done. Remove pork from pan using a slotted spoon, reserving liquid in pan.

4. Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add cornstarch mixture to pan, and bring to a boil. Cook 30 seconds or until slightly thickened. Serve over pork. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup green onions.
