Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine first 3 ingredients. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Flatten each pork slice to 1/2-inch thickness, using your fingertips. Add pork to the pan (working in batches if necessary) and spoon soy sauce mixture evenly over the top. Cook for 3 minutes or until browned; turn and cook for 3 minutes or until done. Remove from pan. Add salsa and preserves to pan; raise heat to medium-high and cook for 30 seconds or until mixture is slightly thick, stirring constantly. Serve pork with sauce and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
