Pork Teriyaki

This meal is a one that my whole family likes.  I like it because it's quick to make -- you can have dinner on the table within 30 minutes (the rice takes more time to make than the pork!).  Plus, it doesn't use a lot of ingredients.

I have also added snow peas to this meal; broccoli or green beans would also taste great with this sauce.

2 - 3 pounds pork strips (or about 2 - 2 1/2 cups)
2 cups carrots, cut into thin strips
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided

Sauce:
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Over medium heat, brown pork strips in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.  Remove from heat.  In a separate pan*, add remaining tablespoon of olive oil and cook carrots on medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes until crisp tender.

Mix sauce ingredients and pour over carrots, adding pork back into skillet.  On medium to high heat, bring sauce to a boil.  Turn heat down and simmer for 2 minutes until meat and carrots are tender.  Serve over rice.

Serves:  4

*I use a separate pan because this way the carrots don't get cooked with the leftover bits of pork.  They just look prettier!
