1 Tbsp cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil

Lean pork tenderloin provides high proteins (100g, 26g proteins) and low saturated fats (100g, 1g saturated fats).  With zero glycemic index and zero glycemic load, it is a good choice for diabetes.  In addition, pork has high amount of niacin (Vitamin B3) that can help you to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.  Leek in this dish not only adds texture and flavor, but also provides health benefits.  For example, leek is good source of dietary fibers (100g, 2g fibers), folic acids, vitamin A, iron, calcium, and selenium.  Plus, the sulfur-containing allicin in leek has ability to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, and has anti-microbial activities.  Adding red chili peppers to this dish gave vitamins A, C, E, and capsaicin that can boost metabolism.  Extra virgin olive oil certainly can help absorption of vitamin A in this dish.  Douche, like soy sauce, is made from fermented soybeans, and has multiple layers of flavor to add into this dish.  Shoyu-polysaccharides and shoyu-flavones from douche can help the growth of gut probiotics and boost immune function.  Simply remember not to add too much douche because of its high sodium content.

Enjoy!
