Instructions
Heat a large skillet on medium high. While it's heating, brush the oil on the pork. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then place the pork into the skillet. Sear all sides to a golden brown then add the shallots and sauté until the shallots just start to get soft.
Mix together the soy sauce, garlic, agave, 5 spice, and minced ginger and pour over the pork, turning and brushing the sauce onto the entire surface. Next, pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes. If your skillet has a cover then place the lid on. Turn the pork every five minutes to allow all sides to simmer in the juices. Remove the pork and check for doneness by slicing into the thickest area - the meat should be cooked through with only a hint of pink in the center. Set aside and bring the liquid to a boil before adding the mushrooms, baby bok choy and edamame. Turn the heat down and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Slice the pork diagonally and serve over a bed of the vegetables with a drizzle of the chicken stock mixture on top. Enjoy with brown rice for a healthy, well-rounded meal.
