Combine minced garlic, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, dark brown sugar, water, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a bowl.

Marinate the pork tenderloin pieces in half of the sauce mixture for 15 minutes.

Add cornstarch to a large zip-top bag and add marinated pork pieces. Shake the bag to coat the pork evenly, removing any excess cornstarch.

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

When the oil is shimmering, add the cornstarch-coated pork pieces in a single layer. If needed, cook the pork in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Cook pork for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Transfer the cooked pork to a plate and set aside.

Add the reserved sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer.

Return the cooked pork and sliced green onions to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Serve over rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
