Five Spice Pork and Papaya

This meal is so simple and yummy, I had to share.















Five Spice Pork and Papaya over couscous
adapted from Clean Eating Magazine

1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 TB. fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic grated
1/2 lb. pork tenderloin, sliced into 1/2-inch to 2-inch strips
1 TB Chinese Five Spice
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 c. minced cilantro

1 large papaya, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch –save the seeds they are edible and add an interesting flavor to the meal.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium for 1 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes.

Then add pork and soy sauce and cook for 3-4 minutes, occasionally turning pork until meat is almost cooked through.

Add the five spice powder and cook for another minute or so until pork is done.

Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and cilantro.

Serve over couscous with papaya and seeds if using.
