Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by marinating the pork tenderloin slices with the teriyaki sauce in a bowl. Ensure that each piece is evenly coated to enhance the flavor. Let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rice. If you prefer a richer flavor, marinate for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. 2.
   In a medium skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices to the skillet, allowing space between each piece for even cooking. Sauté the pork for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the slices are cooked through and slightly caramelized. Look for a glossy sheen and darker color, indicating the teriyaki sauce has thickened.
3. 3.
   While the pork cooks, prepare your serving bowl with the cooked sushi rice. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains for a lighter texture, which will absorb any juices from the pork. Arrange it in a neat pile in the center of your bowl for an appealing presentation.
4. 4.
   Once the pork is cooked and has a delightful glaze, remove it from the heat. Carefully place the slices on top of the prepared rice, allowing any residual sauce to drizzle over and soak into the rice below for added flavor.
5. 5.
   Garnish the bowl with thinly sliced green onions, which add a pop of color and a fresh taste that complements the savory pork. For additional texture, you might toast the green onions lightly before adding, but that's optional. Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its peak flavor and warmth.
