Welcome to the channel and introduce the dish: Easy Ginger Garlic Glazed Pork.

Gather ingredients: pork, salt, honey, black peppercorns, white vinegar (or rice vinegar), chili garlic sauce, olive oil, ginger garlic paste, green onions, and roasted peanuts.

Start by marinating the pork: season with salt and crush black peppercorns over it, then add ginger garlic paste and massage it into the pork.

Heat a heavy skillet on the stove and add olive oil, ensuring it's very hot.

Sear the pork in the hot oil until browned on the outside, ensuring it is not fully cooked inside, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside, keeping the oil in the pan for the glaze.

Add ginger garlic paste to the skillet, being careful not to burn it, and mix quickly.

Add chili garlic sauce and a splash of white vinegar to the skillet, followed by honey to create the glaze.

Reduce the heat and let the glaze cook down for a few minutes while roasting peanuts in a separate pan.

Add soy sauce to the glaze for flavor, about a tablespoon.

Roast the peanuts until they turn brown, then set aside and crush them for garnish.

Return the pork to the skillet and stir to coat it in the glaze, cover and let it cook for a while.

Prepare brown rice by boiling water and adding lemon juice and salt, then add the rice and cook until done.

Crush the roasted peanuts for garnish while the pork finishes cooking in the glaze.
