Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Season pork tenderloin with garlic, salt, and pepper. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high for 2-3 minutes, until shimmering. Sear pork on all sides to a golden-brown color.
2. Place pork on baking sheet and place in oven for approximately 20 minutes or until pork reaches 145 F internal temperature. Remove from oven and allow pork to rest for at least 5-7 minutes and then slice.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients for the Citrus Sweet and Sour sauce and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Heat oil in medium-sized pot on medium-low heat until oil is shimmering. Add ginger and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Stir in rice so it is lightly coated with the ginger and oil. Add water and bring it to a boil.
5. Once boiling, turn heat down to low and place lid on pot. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes or until done.
6. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes with lid on. Fluff rice with fork.
7. Serve sliced pork tenderloin over ginger rice, then top with citrus sweet and sour sauce.
8. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
