Heat a cast iron skillet (or any other pan that can go from the stove to the oven) to medium high. Remove the pork loin from the bag and place in the skillet, brown all sides. Once browned, add the marinade from the bag to the skillet and bring to a boil. Then move the whole skillet to the oven and roast the pork loin about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160º. 5. Once it reaches the correct temperature, remove from the oven and set aside. 6. To prepare the bok choy, heat a wok or large skillet over medium high heat with the olive oil and garlic and saute the garlic until it is fragrant and just starting to turn golden. Then add the bok choy and saute until just starting to wilt, then add the soy sauce and white wine and cook a couple minutes just to cook out the alcohol and cook down the bok choy a little more. Serve both with brown rice and you have a tasty and healthy dinner!
