Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced ginger, garlic, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until it’s fully incorporated, creating a smooth, flavorful marinade.
- Add the crushed red pepper flakes and freshly ground black pepper, stirring well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Place the thinly sliced pork tenderloin into the bowl, making sure each piece is well-coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse into the pork.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, additional soy sauce (1 1/4 tbsp), lemon juice, additional sugar (2 tbsp), and garlic until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients blend smoothly.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water, whisking well to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Set the peanut sauce aside.
Step 3: Warm the Pitas
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wrap the pita breads in aluminum foil and warm them in the oven for 5-10 minutes until they’re soft and pliable. Once warmed, remove them from the oven but keep them wrapped to maintain their warmth.
Step 4: Grill the Pork
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove the marinated pork slices from the bowl, letting any excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the pork slices in batches if necessary, cooking each side for about 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Transfer the cooked pork to a plate and set aside.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay each warm pita on a flat work surface.
- Spread about 2 teaspoons of the prepared peanut sauce onto each pita, covering the surface lightly but evenly.
- Arrange a generous layer of watercress over the sauce, creating a fresh and crunchy base.
- Place one or two slices of the grilled pork on one side of each pita.
- Top the pork with a few slices of spring onion for a hint of sweetness and extra crunch.
- Fold each pita in half over the filling and wrap it in aluminum foil to keep everything in place and warm.
